Poverty in Singapore

The poverty in Singapore might not be obvious but it is definitely all around us. Of these people, most of them are senior citizens. They could not catch up to the fast economic growth and thus lagged behind. How about their children? Their children most probably abandoned them to catch up with the modern society. In addition, they might find them as a burden to their lives. Here are some pictures to show examples of these senior citizens :

       

As we can see, most of them are senior citizens, picking up recycled materials to make a living for themselves. Some are also homeless and live in the void decks of hdb flats.
They cannot rely on their children to lead a good life. These few examples clearly shows that Singapore still faces poverty even though we are quite a well developed country.
