Yes, in the past 5 or 7 years we see more of and more of such sights everywhere in S'pore. And I can still remember those BS slogans like

"More good years"
"A kinder and caring society"
"Swiss standard of living"
"Every s'porean counts"

You forgot the latest: "A land of opportunity"

I believe not all such old folks are homeless, although most aren't well-off either. Some wants to make an extra buck or two. The recyled empty cans can fetch them an extra $20-$50 a mth if they're lucky.
