'To all of you who still have parents, please give them pocket money,' he added as a reminder to everyone
SINGAPORE: A Singaporean took to social media to share his concern over seeing elderly Singaporeans selling tissues outside a temple.
However, Mr Song added that one elderly seller in particular caught his attention. “A Singaporean Chinese man aged 75 years old,” he wrote. “AN UNCLE. found him at the Bugis junction bus stop.” “To all of you who still have parents, please give them pocket money,” he said, adding, “I’m not here to be a kaypoh.”
“You won’t know how much they earn per day… the cost is 0.20/packet? they probably pocket $100 on normal days, and $300 on weekends. They possibly earn more than you, have zero income tax, and get maximum government handouts.
