Oh wow what a 'nice' quote young man.
I tot I had just mentioned that by 2017 43% or more of
singaporean will be millionaire? ALL singaporean pays will rise
from the economic push in china and india(projected india, they
are catching up fast so buy their company stock when they are cheap
now) unless they are bullied by their boss lar. And by 2017
Singapore population will be around 5 million, do you think that
the same old 2 min frequency on NSL or EWL will work during even
and morning peak? Surely it will require some upgrading. Fully
automated will be very possible since government plan to be the
first in SEA or maybe the whole asia to implentment the optical
fibre network. So by that time singapore will be so advanced. The
needies will get wat they need I can gurantee, unless they dunno
how to seek for help lar or too greedy.
Kid, yes u mentioned 47% but have you thought of the other 53%
and how many families will still earn less than 1k a month? If your
family is well off and you don't have to worry about money matters,
that doesn't mean everyone in the country doesn't.
You might be able to slp all u like till 1-2pm for all u care
but there are kids just slightly older than you who have to work to
help their family or to earn their own allowance because their
family is poor. Your life is too comfortable for you to understand
the lives of those less fortunate.
The govt can only do that much for the needy. They cannot fully
provide for them all the time nor give them a life that a normal
average family can lead. Unless you have real first hand experience
dealing with the needy, knowing how their lives are like, don't
just use your imagination and think the govt or someone will take
care and ensure everyone can live well. That is just a dream that
will never be reality.
Even the poor, some have the integrity to want to work and earn
money on their own even if its low rather than behave like a begger
and rely on others to support them.
Do not overestimate the govt nor underestimate the needy.
