When LKY handed over the administration, there were only less than 20k on the social welfare?

Now it's more than 250k?

Not scary?

Poverty keeps rising in Singapore as income gap and cost of living  rises.

More people are in category of working poor and are supported by workfate

I don't expect the problem of rising poverty to get better as nothing much is done to improve the situation.

Look at A&E cost ...my neighbor fell an twist his hand  on Christmas. I had to take him to see A&E as his son  was stuck  Indonesia bill was $132. Doctor took Xray and said no fracture...a few yrs back $90....increased by more than 45%.
