The Unknown Side of Singapore
Listen to this article
This video has been created to raise awareness about poverty in Singapore. Most Singaporeans don't think there is any, but walking down the busiest road in Singapore I found many impoverished people. The country needs to recognize their needs and support them more.

Thanks for taking some time to make us aware of the unseen reality of Singaporean. The government of Singapore should take further actions on this helpless people. I know poverty is not the only issues that our government should attend to but still poverty makes our economy goes down deeper. I hope we can somewhat resolve some percent on increasing rate of poverty in out country since many mere people struggle a lot in this time of economic downturn.

Thanks for sharing with us the other side of Singapore it made us understand the real situation there as much as poverty is concern. One of the hottest issue circulating on the web was the health care reform, in relation to this, Section 1233 provides for what's called an "end of life" consultation from a doctor with patients that are elderly or gravely ill. The HR 3200 bill doesn't mention what the peanut gallery says it is – euthanasia. It's only legal in 2 states. (That's why it can't be.) However, a living will or a DNR order (do not resuscitate) are legal everywhere. If you think euthanasia is covered in Section 1233, get some cash loans and get a hobby.
