Hahaha! That's quite true! 
I'm puzzled why people
can't get employment, I mean even if working in a coffee shop can
earn S$600.00 (no need qualification), still can buy a 1 rm HDB
flat or rent a 1rm HDB flat mah....why still have homeless people?
when people in their earlier life have tasted grapes, few will go
want to go back to eat sour lime. In one way or the other, some of
these peoples are the ones who built singapore economy as
construction or shipyard workers, life was good then, with
overtime, all singaporeans, and a lower cost of living that match
their salary which ultimately offset inflation. But then old
age catch up with them, the ego of being a top construction or
shipyard skill worker etc etc still maintain deep inside them,
by downgrading them to cleaner or coffee shop waiter can be a total
insult to their ego and integrity, given the compressed salaries
compounded by foreign workers, most older singaporean
workers went into depression. I am not a man, but I understand
that a man tends to unhold his integrity, pride and ego. The ironic
that they worked for singapore economy, bringing it up to the
present situation just to be taken away by foreigners and
discrimination of old age by companies (which is understandable)
must had totally destroyed that will to work for a mere $600 or
$800 salary (which cannot even paid my shopping credit). If you are
a man, i believe you can understand them more than me.
