This is another video found on Youtube which depicts how some elderly live in poverty, despair and suffering in Singapore, a prosperous, safe, "First-World" country with many good reputations.





"Are you a Singaporean and think that the senior citizens in our society are living comfortably in homes or are being well taken care of by their children?Think again.

Thank you, this is a production by YJ077.

We hope that we have enlightened you with our very own video of the plight the senior citizens [a certain group of them] face in today's high standard of living society.

Song title: What a Wonderful World

All the pictures found in the video were either taken by Laura or found on the net. "

We are saddened that there are still many eldery out there in Singapore who are mistreated and are living in "the dark". It is such a shame that our seniors, who worked so hard in the past to make Singapore prosper so much, are taken for granted and just chucked to the side of the road like some garbage.

Will we end up like this when we age?

"We worked on this project with one of our Singapore hospitals in 2006 to broadly help improve the lives of the elderly, in particular, in the space of elderly homecare. The hospitals in Singapore recognize that because of the aging population in Singapore, the hospitals could be overburdened with geriatric cases in the near future if something is not done to help improve homecare for the elderly. Ideally, the hospitals would prefer that elderly patients be able to take as much care of themselves at home and come to the hospital only when necessary for outpatient services.

In this regard, TIF designed & facilitated an innovation process to get a group of 50+ bankers to uncover insights & generate fresh new ideas/prototypes to how elderly homecare could be improved, in particular, improved beyond what was in existence today."


We, the Lions, are inspired by this video, and would like to share it with you. This video does not directly show the 'abandonment of elderly' but shows that compassion and care for the elderly exist in this community afterall, and it also shows how happy the elderly were to have receive great help from the kind people who would even spare a thought about them. We hope that after showng you this video, you would also feel inspired to show more concern for the elderly, and STOP ABANDONMENT!
