you got a point...
but there are also quite a number of people "living in a so-called
poverty line"?? esp the uneducated, single-parent, problem family
background, families with many mouths to feed or the older
generation, there are still a significant number of people earning
only abt $600-$1K/mth! and with their mearge salaries, even those
with hold onto two jobs at anytime...they have to split their
hard-earned money among their family and kins...and they only lived
day by day..
even govt assistance is still far insufficient for their daily
survival...worse still in the current economic crisis...and the gap
between the rich and poor is getting wider and wider!
Can such people afford the basic necessities such as public
transport? and how many percent of people need to transfer onto
buses or trains for the single journey? and what's the total cost
for that single journey alone? and these poor ones have to pay for
their food expenses, medical, water and electricity...what a sad
truth...
