In Germany, when you are unemployed, (including to the state of

same goes for other European countries you have mentioned.
Thats why unemployment and taxes are so high in Germany.
You want to pay high taxes or have no jobs?
In Singapore, if you are unemployed, including the state of being
homeless, it's because you need to upgrade yourself. It's your own
responsibility; the government will only give you money near
election times.
Teaching people to depend on themselves, thats really the most
humane thing to do. You need to look at the big picture and realise
that.
China and India are not first world countries, and we do not need
to compare them to Singapore.
They are socialistic, thats why they ended up with low wages and
high unemployment today.
There are just so many homeless people around in Singapore. Why you
do not see them on the streets? They got a roof! Big table tennis
table as free Queen Size bed with a nice roof in HDBs, rubbish
chute covered by hedges on the outside as a big bedroom, with many
clothes hanging outside to sun and dry.
Not many homeless in Singapore. they are homeless by choice, not
the govt's fault because govt do provide shelter for these
people.
When you want to state your point, do raise some facts to support
it. Blindly talking about it is useless.
Its true. Check with MCDS or your neighbourhood police post.
They do run shelters for the destitute but these are not
publicised. I know because I have helped these people before, you
didn't, thats why you don't know. all you know is to complain
complain, blame and blame. Useless fella.
