It is sad, but unavoidable. Many cities facing such problems.
Today's society changes to singles, lgbtq, high divorce rate. And many individuals can afford to lives by themselves in old age.
Our society cares, many private organisations, volunteer groups and social workers working together to help.
But there are just too many older people prefer to living alone.
The family structure in Asian culture of living together is diluted. That's why government giving grants for children applying flat near to their parent's house.

Yes, it is sad. Modern cities all have such problems. We are turning to an uncaring society and that is why the NGOs must do something. It is like how our government need to spend money to teach us how to smile. Remember the smile campaign many decades ago?

Btw, what is causing the decadence in our society?

Liberal ideals, WOKE concept, Individualistic lifestyle, Internet, AI, etc...
Western and Eastern all affected. Changes that cannot be reversible.
Probably going forward, we will have robot at home helping and monitoring our old in daily living. Calling agency for help when detected the elderly is immobile.
That may solve dying alone problem. Cheers!

But those elderly and sick were left to die alone W/O even the state care - no one bothers
Sorry, I'm not willing but forced to. If given a choice I'll not sign up for NS.
Since it's something the state forces upon me, why do you think that they think it is an obligation to take care of us when we are old?
Dun harp on it lah, you kpkb so much also no use. You wait till majority agree with you and vote against the govt then come and talk ok? I'm not going to day in day out ponder over why the country is not taking care of me.
Ignore List: Oyk

Is this the right way of treating NSmen?
The World's 6th Best free HealthCare system don't even know within 710 km2 there are old and sick citizens needed help.
What's the purpose to have healthcare workers and social workers if they don't publicly offer services to help instead of watching them dying alone at home?
"Once you've done your NS and finished your reservist
They tell you to go and fxxk spider."

Beautifully written

Wake Up your fking idea hor...🤣🤣🤣
Taking without brain, stupiak Aussie 🤭
Following a spate of cases where seniors died alone undetected, the Ministry of National Development (MND) is considering "preventive measures".
These include visiting their homes when they have defaulted on rent and utilities payments, Minister of State for National Development Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim told Parliament on Tuesday (May 9).
"HDB will know of cases where seniors die undetected at home "either directly or through other agencies called upon to respond," Faishal said, adding that those living alone in studio apartments or rental blocks have alert alarm systems which they can use to call for help in emergencies.
The 54-year-old was responding to a parliamentary question by Member of Parliament Yip Hon Weng (PAP-Yio Chu Kang) on whether MND plans to track cases of seniors who pass away undetected in their homes.

That's just one suggestion.
Emergency button is another method.
Dying alone is not a easy problem to counter in most countries.
Some poorer countries just left it to happens naturally. Got too many other problems to handle.
We are fortunate to have the resources to make every effort in alleviating the issues. Through government agencies and private organisations.

Thank you.
The govt should instead teach people to care for each other, just like how they taught us to smile a few decades ago.

Yes that's our precious Asian culture, kampung spirit...
Unfortunately today's 21st century, under AI technology revolution. Not likely to change the society mutation.
Even the older generation learning digital independence lifestyle. With our retirement funds, medical insurance and cash saving.
Our concept of lifestyle differs from our ancestors too.

We are so obsessed with SES that we forgot to care for each other.
