Dont drag this
into Speakers Corner forum, This post is created for Fellow
Singaporeans to open up their eyes and discuss about the less
fortunate here in our Island.
Go to Changi beach at 2am and see the amount of homeless people
there. I live 15mins drive from there, so changi village is my
everyday hang out place. One day if shit happens to your family,
let me tell you that, there is no welfare in place for you and your
family and i will see you at changi beach.
Just last week, while walking there at 2 or 3 am, A group of
homeless people were sleeping at this huge shelter and one of them
shouted to me, That Singaporeans should help Singaporeans... I was
abit dumbstruck why he would say that to me... I think i know why
now... I think he means that we have forgotten them and have left
them behind and dont care about helping them.
There are so many homeless people now in Singapore whom are
living in poverty. Open your eyes and take a look around. Look at
all the old people selling tissue paper and the people living under
void decks. Stop and think... Why this is so....
Dont think that there is no such thing like this in Singapore.
If your eyes are blind or you have been told that there is no such
thing like this in Singapore, You are either ignorant or just dont
care enough or maybe you are just a young school going kid.
There was also a video made recently by Al jazeera English about
the homeless in Singapore, Which didnt sit well with our PAP. (al
Jazeera Can be said to be one of the most famous News company in
the world. Cos they always challenge Goverments, corporations and
also Religious group(Even Islam)
And Instead of spending $10million to integrate Immigrants with
us or spending our money Celebrating their festivals, We ought to
put all this money for the Homeless and those who are struggling to
put food on their table.(Yes there are many who dont have enough to
feed themself or their children and yes there are people here in
Singapore who only eat Sardine and bread every single day)
Your grandparents will tell you this.. Dont get sick in
Singapore. If you do, everyone around you will suffer, Not because
of the heartache that you are suffering but because of the amount
of money that is needed to treat you.
Instead of saying a prayer, Pls do a good Deed and think about
the welfare of others, Maybe then Can you win 1st prize in 4D or
TOTO.
We Singaporeans should start loving Each other and Unite with
one another. Be proud that we were born and Raised here. And there
is only a couple of million of us Left here in Singapore.
