If every government has the excessive resources to want to do
that, then there's no need to discuss social welfare or public
empathy further. Putting oneself in others' shoes is
different from being taken as idiots.
Yeah, the only others' shoes fit to be worn by Singaporeans are
the government's. After all, they don't take citizens as idiots, do
they?
"But what will happen if welfare is given? Does it mean our dear
beloved leaders must take excruciating pay cuts? OH
NOES!!!!!!1111"
That's Singaporean empathy for you.
