My press letter on the above matter to The Straits
Times is published today, Saturday 7th April 2018.
Having a national conversation to find ways to help low-income Singaporeans
will be useful (Call for ideas to help low-income Singaporeans; April 2).
It
is estimated that by the year 2020, Singapore is expected to have a total of
188,000 millionaires.
The
government with the support of these wealthy people in Singapore and
philanthropists could set up a fund that could provide support to lower-income
Singaporeans.
This
fund can be used to help this group of people find jobs or provide them with a
monthly allowance of about $200 to S300 to help them cover their meals and
another $100 for transport until such time they are able to find a job.
