I have been into one of the such family home before..... it have a stench, and no way that was a fully paid house. The family was staying in a rented unit, and with most space, filled with card boxes... They will make arrangement to have a karaguni man to come to collect once their unit is full....
their unit ever caught fire once and SCDF personal were there to put the fire out for them..... lucky no one was hurt.... but the blaze was really huge and many units were evacuated in the process.....
People who have excess money will have more attas interest... like gardening, bon sai, etc.... do you know how shaming it is to dig into a dustbin to look for tin can or to pull things out from rubbish bin?? People who never done it tend to make comments when they should actually... try to go out and dig a dustbin, with a lot of eyes looking at you, and then, you tell me if people who have money will do things like this....
Do you think they collect card boxes by people who pack it nicely for them?
I do think that our Media has been very successful... you can see it is obvious some are so conditioned by the media, and have no knowledge of Ground Zero and just... simply comment on such issues... and it pain me when I realized that such population is not small... and they are so immune to people predicament... and rather insensitive....
Quite a bit of the new gen are like this... and I do not think by selective of the "good" news, is the right way to develop our society....
I do think the Internet is a "Balancing Field".... but all people gotta be smart in listening or choosing what to believe....
