Me. Myself & i

Bad day. Because:
1) Kenna really bad scolding from my dad.
2) Liverpool lost 2-0 to Man utd.

But the rest of the day sort of salvage it a little.
Now as i wait for my hair to dry, i shall write someting to pass time..

Well, i guess i'll start with this burning question of mine ever since i learnt about how a man was so poor that he jump off the MRT platform. It was reported that he was jobless for 4 months, and the fam of 4 had to live on SGD500 every month. The HDB instalment alone was 300++ At the time he passed away, the total amount of cash the whole family had was $30. My condolences to the family. But i have wanting to ask this for a long long time:
How can a man be jobless for 4 months in singapore?
If your two sons and wife has been suffering, your debts total to about $8000, you must be very desperate to work. Hence willing to do anything. I guess a father who really wants to be responsible for his family, shld be strong and take up any job that comes his way.
But perhaps to be fair, it might be too mentally demanding to be strong in that kind of situation.
Secondly, didn't they just announce that our unemployment rate decreased some time ago? Somehow i feel that sometimes they paint such a beautiful picture of an average Singaporean life and we sort of forget about all these people struggling out there. Which makes up the majority of singaporeans. What is the point of giving $5000, $10 000 now after he has died? When he was alive, his relatives and friends probably shun him. If he had tried getting a job, he was probably looked down upon by those people interviewing him. When he asked for help, people probably mocked him. So what is the freaking point of the money?
Is the 40 000 going to compensate the kids what they'll be missing because their dad had to die just to exchange for that amt of money? Is that 40 000 going to be enough for a widow, who is disabled, who's husband should still be with her if he had gotten a little help?
Jus how many more of them will jump for that 40 000 prize money, to put it more simply, 1 life in exchange for 3. They have no idea how attractive this amt is, put in front of families with similar situation.

Money, is the only way they know how to help. Cold hard cash can solve any problems that come on the way. How bout some preventive act? How bout more volunteers to take care of people's mental well-being? How bout a more caring society, instead of one which only have 4 million smiles taken on digital cam and non in reality? How about more government funded projects to help these people, how bout fine tuning the qualification test for obtain welfare?

Will the death of man knock some sense into this society? Or is it going to be generated further by Money?

Singaporeans, very caring but too little actually uses their head.

Gd night.
