You mean got people crowd at lobster and burger mean everyone has plenty of food what kind of logic is that?
It's like saying big crowd at condo launch means there are no poor people in Singapore?
Or thousands turn up at Standatd Chartered marathon means there are no sick unfit people in Singapore?
.
.....how does the logic work here?

Middle class forms the majority of Sg.
If, as it's claimed, middle class turns to food bank, that means situation is very very bad!
Is it true?

The surprising thing is the article mentioned middle class. I think it is not widespread in the middle income range. Maybe a few fell thru the cracks. Most should be ok, at least not down until must ask for free food. Pofma.
But lower income sure jialat.

Depends on the definition of the middle class. And then sometimes, they divide the middle class into different subclasses. The article did not state the income of the 'middle class' so don't know how widespread it is.

No matter how it is defined, middle class is always the biggest group, especially in affluent nations like Sg.

But if it is divided into subclasses and only one of the subclass is being referenced, then it is not. From the article, the 'middle class' is definitely not what I personally think is the middle class of Singapore. I considered myself and my neighbours as middle class (my neighbourhood is old and poorer than average) but so far no mention of food bank here.
