Lets not be too engross with the abuse but rather do what we think is fit to help out.
In any case, we own it to others to bring us up to par today and we should lead by contributing back to society.
If the GOV also done its duty, then we have double layer of protection.
If not, at least we had already done our part.

I am not talking about myself. I do contribute back to society and we should contribute back to the society. What I am saying is the simple solution of drawing a poverty line and eradicate poverty by helping those below this line. What behaviour are we encouraging?
Some people are complaining that our government is too fixated on GDP growth and so, we have poverty. Are they wrong? I really don't think so. We import most of our things from overseas and in order to keep things cheap, we need to keep Singapore dollars strong. In order to do so, we have to encourage foreign companies to invest in our country, buying as much SGD as possible. These companies have to find good reasons to invest in Singapore.
Perhaps our government did not find a good balance between welfare and economic growth but I find that a lot of times, the accusation that our government is not doing a good job is a tad too exaggerated. For a small country to survive, it is not as simple as some people have portrayed.
