govt need to step up on helping the poor cuz majority sg are either low or average income earner and our standard of living is rocket high....

but on the contrary when I went to Shanghai last year, the rich are very rich richer than we sg while the poor is extremely poor living as a beggar in the street.

just my thought that SG are still a little balance compare to big countries.

We should benchmark with a similar country, the third world folks will always suffer more.

What do you think of this article, "Poor in Rich Singapore"?

This is something that I would not want myself or my children to experience when we grow old. Need to save more money while we are still young.

The question is, do we have enough income to save? Or you consider CPF minimum sum as enough?

ooKarmarianoo SG

I don't consider CPF minimum sum to be enough because it is based on inflation rates which on salary isn't based on. Life can be tough sometimes if your salary remains fairly flat for the next ten twenty years, hardly rising for non executive positions and facing age discrimination as you become older. Jobs become harder to find and with higher certification requirements it has become more competitive to stay afloat. In 10 years time, the CPF minimum sum most prob will be 350,000 sgd or more. I dun understand why the government increase the CPF minimum sum but didn't fight for higher salary pay for everyone and instead focus on hiring cheaper foreign labour to make life tougher for their citizens. I hope they find a way to balance the situation.

Because of the PAP ideology of "GDP GROWTH at ALL COST"? How can there be any balance when you put money before compassion? Not everyone in this world are born equal, so we need compassion in order to have some reasonable balance.

sgdiehard SG

Don't depend on those who have money to show compassion. Showing compassion, love, sympathy...should be in everybody's mind and heart, whether you are in a communist country, captitalist country, country run by elected government or tyranny...because there are always people who are worse off than you!!

The worse thing that can happen and is happening now is that everybody is waiting for somebody else to show compassion.
