Of late, there has been an increased number of homeless roaming the streets of Singapore. What is our Government doing to help these people? They refuse to provide financial support to them, but can we at least have homeless shelters? A netizen weighs in on the idea.
"Of late, there has been videos and pictures of many homeless people, especially elderly ones, in Singapore. Some sleep on the benches of hawker centres at night. Some have to eat out of garbage bins, go dumpster diving. Our government has not helped them. There are 105 Community Centres located all around Singapore. Wouldn't it be great if we can repurpose our 105 Community Centre's MPH for our homeless citizens between 11pm and 7am?
We are all currently paying conservancy fees for our flats. Is it possible to take a portion of it to provide a small dinner meal for the homeless? We can also have a monthly donation for them. I am very sure we can all do much more to help the homeless. With the rising costs in our nation, it will be even harder for them to get proper meals and accommodation. We are all humans here, we have to help each other."
