    • Poverty is a fact of life everywhere. don't think there is any country in the world without poor people.

      policy failure is easy to say, hard to identify. like, which one fail, also no idea.

      sometimes people are poor because they gamble away the money

      sometimes people are poor because of circumstances.

       

      hope you guys find a nice country to immigrate to.

    • Yeah. Singapore is saturated with people collecting cans.

      Are you telling us, because of the above, you have to go NZ where collecting cans are not a saturated profession there ?

      before a person become a leader, he is alway deem to be good, wait wait, until he truly become president, let see how he perform, for talk is easy, doing is another thing. So dun be so committed ya, wait awhile become migrating, maybe later LHL may apologise to you for his lacking.

    • Let me bring of you to an education called habitual pyschology.

       

      Do u think most ah ma and ah kong who collect cardbox and cans are poor peoples, think again. Under my brownies association survey, we trailed some of these ah ma back home, and surprise, they live in private properties as semi detach or bungalow, very rich indeed. And of course some in nice condo and 5 rooms HDB.

       

      We even took the initiative to ask their sons and daughters as to why they allow their mother or grandma to collect cans and cardboard etc etc...and the reply was, she is stubborn, since young, she must work, so now got no work, she goes around and collect things to past time, and some of these old peoples cannot stay/ get along with sons or daughter in laws, they want to survive by themselves...very stubborn and dun like to sit at home.

       

      So..think twice hor

      Wow even PRCs are fighting with our senior citizens for drink cans. what next? And just for TS info. there are minority classes everywhere in the world. Wanting to leave Singapore because you think PAP doesn't take care of its minority classes is not a good reason to leave.

      Anyway PAP gave us what is most important. Education

      to me....obama

      1. instil a sense of hope to USA.

      2. is pretty inspiring. you need an inspiring leader to lift the country. LHL has been insipid so far.

      3. has a clear sense of the issues the country is facing and the plans to get out of the hole. from a distance, i sense that obama knows what he is doing.

      4. is doing the right thing.

      so it is more of what he says he is going to do, not what he had done.

      all politicians are liars.
