I got once heard of an article about “The Endless Cycle of Poverty”... According to theory, those who are poor tend to have lotsa children, among these children, chances are they wont get the required education, some may lead a life of gangsterism, then with minimum education, they received minimum wage jobs and has little knowledge to set a planned life… and then the cycle continues… the poor need to break this cycle in order to lead a happy life if not for them then the next generation…

bluejuice SG

how to break the cycle?

foomwee88 SG

I think the issue here is $ rite!!!!

Jobless is not the issue if he has a saving .

Why he cant pay the bills n resort to commit suicide????

Why our society cant help these ppls???

MohamedF SG

If i know that, I'll post it...

foomwee88 SG

This is not a cycle,this is wat u r in wat u will be !!!!

udontknowme SG

its not just about being poor...

you know...recently, the government has these ads on 'recognizing depression'...well, i think thats pretty much useless.
people dont go and kill themselves just because they dont have cash.
if you are just poor, you'd think of ways to get cash or something.
only the VERY desperate kill themselves.
honestly, i think people need to be educated on stuff like these.

all these years of health education and moral education in school, not a SINGLE thing on mental health Rolling Eyes
and all they tell us is that commiting suicide is stupid and selfish and irresposible. which is probably how a mentally healthy person thinks. but IF you are mentally sound, you wont have to worry about anything like that.

Mospeada SG

they did got help from some welfare ogranisation before...

but when they tried to enlist help again, they were turned down cos their total family income was over S$1000...before the man lost his job

i wonder why din singapore powers give more grace period...why must they force him and his family?

dragg SG

the govt should and must play an active role.

the only way to break the vicious cycle of poverty is not only just by providing monetary help.

education is important for children of families living in poverty. only with proper academic qualifications can these children break the cycle.

foomwee88 SG

This is 2 tell us wat our society is 2 be??

U die is yr business,nothing concern us!!!!

dragg SG

i seriously doubt he has any savings considering the fact that they were having instant noodles and biscuits for meals.

foomwee88 SG

U r rite!!!

He has no $ n cant get help!!!!

That why i started this thread!!!!

Ito_^ SG

not only academic qualifications but also educating on various aspects of life like self-pride, mental health, etc.

nowadays they just wayang alot of non-academic parts, in the end, the factory just chum out a series of robots ready to break down any time.

MohamedF SG

Your're right about this one...though not a very good example, I had a friend who was depressed about something that he stonned from coming to school for 4 whole weeks... when one is depressed, they can't function properly and their decissions are most of the time never right...

dragg SG

what he should have done was to approach the straits times or TNP. help would come pouring in if their situation were highlighted to the masses.

Mospeada SG

how?

that will give pple some justification to increase tax....

like how they are cornering the taxi-drivers...their livelihood has been adversely affected after the increase in charges...that did not help them...that made them worst off

Mospeada SG

but u see...he will be criticised for it...and pple would say : pple like this is a parasite to the society etc...he should be able to find a decent job etc...is he out to con us of our sympathy etc....

it is only upon death...that pple will not say anything... Crying or Very sad

shinta SG

wrong liao... no more moral education...

we score cos we noe how to lie Very Happy the higher ur score the better a liar u are
