Nice commentary: Mr Wang Is Skeptical (Mr Wang Bakes Good Karma)
Okay, let’s see what’s happening. Essentially the divide between rich and poor is growing wider and wider in Singapore. And some Singaporeans are getting left far, far behind.
What’s the government’s proposed solution? Basically their idea is to encourage the people to help the people (God forbid that the government actually be expected to help the people). In other words, the government has decided to rely on charitable organisations, NGOs, voluntary welfare organisations and the like.
And from recent government pronouncements, it seems that the government is expecting these organisations to do something quick, in a very big way.
