12% - 14% Singapore resident households living below Poverty Level. Why so high?
#1

12–14 per cent or 130,000–150,000 singapore resident households using s$1,500 as a poverty line

 (the qualifying level for many comcare schemes in 2011) and looking at the income distribution across quintiles for all households, not only “employed households.” this data is only available every five years"

20 YEARS of Employment Pass allowing Free Flow of FTs

but the 100k Non- Citizens are not even removed yet

HOW not to have many 12-14 % poor people?

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Clearly, more than 500,000 Singaporeans are earning below $1500 poverty line.

As reported in 2019, 450,000 pensioners age 55 yo and above are receiving average $330 CPF payout a month.

How come so many poor people still around?.

The COVID vaccine did not work as planned... While there has been success in Europe with elderlies falling like flies after the jabs, cutting pension payouts... The same cannot be said in this region...
