Just a few days ago, I was walking past the Ministry of National Development when I saw a beggar in front of the building.
It was a picture of stark contraction. No doubt, Singapore is getting more and more affluent, there exists a small segment of our population which needs more help.
However, I believe the government cannot be forever helping the less priviledged. The lower segments would need to take ownership of their life to be self-reliant. I would think education and training is really a very important and essential tool for the lower segments of our society to level up.
