We cannot blame Singapore government for everyone, because we are all humans after all. So it is up to those who are poor to:* seek financial assistance to the amount they need* seek self-improvement to upgrade themselves.There are a lot of channels nowadays to seek assistance. Other than that, how many of us as individuals who actually go out to help these people? Give donation, the very least? A penny for our thoughts.

Dun support PAP? Then support Chee Soon Juan ah? Slowly watch Chee lead Singapore to its final days, & let him sell out Singapore by conspiring with foreign powers? No thanks. Though PAP is not the best government, they r not the worst either. As u show photos of only these few poor individuals, why not show other photos where MAJORITY of Singaporeans have job, have a place 2 live, have meals 2 eat. PAP will be really incompetent if the MAJORITY is poor and live on streets, with nothing 2 eat.

Laura whatever your agenda, you have done a disservice to journalism, your country and yourself.Do you realise the lady wore a gold chain? She can apply for free school fees. Primary school's student do not need to pay school fees in Singapore except for FOREIGNERS!I think our so called poor is the envy of a lot of poor people round the world. So stop your misinformation. Tell CSJ to fight like a man.PAP Govt has done Singapore a lot of good. Thank you.

Sad to see this, where have the value of sharing gone?... I used to live in "Kampong", whose days people are more caring. Our education system today, focus too much on academic but neglected the values of life.

A Stake for Everyone, Opportunities for All? I think not. Especially for the fact that many lower income Singaporeans are falling behind or worst, being ostracized and shunned by the million dollar government and those of the higher income group.Sad...
