On my way home, near my house, I saw a group of people surrounding an elderly man. I went forward to find out what happen and see if I can help in anything.One called for ambulance, the other helped him to stop bleeding at the forehead. The people helping the casualty managed to contact his family members and they managed to reach before the ambulance set off. It is heart warming to see fellow Singaporeans caring for one another in times such as this.

I was on the train travelling towards Jurong East during peak hour (6pm). This elderly man was forced to sit on the floor of the mrt because none of the other commuters offered him their seats. When I was on board the train, nobody gave way to the old man.

Do not go to Jantzen hair salon at Causeway Point especially if you are an elderly person as they are skilled in the art of preying on the elderly or any unsuspecting/trusting person.

United Nations human rights expert Rosa Kornfeld-Matte today commended the Government of Singapore for its efforts and commitment to ensure that older persons fully enjoy their human rights. However, she noted that “addressing the needs of an ageing population requires laws and policies grounded in a human rights-based approach.” “I urge the authorities to ensure that all older persons in Singapore are able to age with dignity,” Ms. Kornfeld-Matte stressed

A young SBS driver was on duty with CT8 route, he was kind and caring to elderly people who boarded the bus. His celebrity-like X factor outlook also mesmorise us, a group of silver lining hair! He sure will have a bright future! It is rare to see young men nowadays to be polite and considerate to silver lining group like us. One main concern is he drove steadily, not too fast for the consideration of elderly people onboard his bus.

At 6.30pm, on Thursday, I was on the DTL going towards Chinatown, on board was a group of blue clad soldiers, obviously from Mindef at Hillview. They were all sitting in a row. At Beauty World Station, an old man of about 75yrs got up and was tottering about with a walking-stick umbrella looking for a seat.

Yesterday, at Taman Jurong Superbowl, an old Chinese uncle was trying to get across the carpark. The uncle walked slowly, he has a leg problem. A young Malay guy then stepped up to help the uncle cross the carpark and he made sure that the elderly was keeping a safe distance from the cars. The guy then led the uncle to a safe spot and told him to sit and rest. The young guy then proceeded to run out to the main road, hailed a cab and the cab turned into the carpark to fetch the uncle.

We received this contribution from Ms Teo, who related how her parents and brother were falsely accused and abused by this couple at the lift lobby of their HDB home. The account here was written by her brother on Facebook.

You don't know me, and I could not possibly know you. A few days ago, you called my mother in Singapore, lied to her that she was being investigated by the PRC police for trafficking fake credit cards and money laundering, threatening her with arrest if she did not cooperate. Congratulations, you succeeded. My mother, a lowly-educated retired old woman, was duped. Duped by your ludicrous lines into giving you her life savings.
