POOR OLD LADY MAKES $10 A DAY SELLING HEAVY SCRAPS & CARDBOARD

Dear Editors,

I saw this old woman in her 80s pushing her heavy load along the streets. She said that her current load can sell for 2 to 3 dollars. In total everyday, she makes 2 to 3 trips.

Everyday this old woman push such heavy loads and make only 10 dollars to make ends meet. Will anyone do this for exercise? Is this what retirement is like for Singaporeans? Can’t we give our Pioneers a more dignified retirement?
