stemming from avarice or divorce and dysfunction.”

    Just give a few example, never provide statistics to show the real picture at all.
    Next time the people want to buy/sell house the HDB must ask the property agent submit a 10 page recommendation report on the financial health of the buyer and seller. And the bank loan officer countersign.

    All i want to say is :”Have some heart for these really poor people”.

    Really. You have never been poor before to know what it is like. You think giving $330 is a great thing? We are no crutch mentality – but we really got no road to go already. Really.

    Right,
    So if you are divorced, you are destined to be homeless?
    What a asinine observation.
