IBG HQ Singapore :
😊: ☕️➡️Was there really so much controversy surrounding elderly people collecting beverage cans for recycling before?
In my recollection, these discussions seem to have only gradually emerged and garnered widespread public attention after the implementation of new policies.
➡️Personally, I believe that an untimely or poorly considered policy can have a profound impact on people's lives. Therefore, before implementing a policy, it is crucial to fully consider public opinion, assess its actual impact, and review and adjust it promptly when necessary.
➡️Given better options, I believe the vast majority of people would not be willing to brave the wind and sun to collect beverage cans for a mere penny. Everyone wants to live with dignity and support themselves through their own efforts. I respect different opinions and hope that society can offer these elderly individuals more understanding, respect, and empathy.
🤦🏻At the same time, I believe that the long-term impact of a flawed or poorly considered policy on society can sometimes be even more profound and alarming than individual corruption cases. Because it affects not just a few individuals, but potentially the lives, social perceptions, and trust in the government of millions of people.
➡️I further hope that the government and the people can strengthen communication, earnestly listen to different voices, respond promptly to public concerns, and work together to solve problems, rather than allowing social conflicts to accumulate. A truly mature and stable society requires mutual trust, understanding, and shared responsibility between the government and the people.
➡️I sincerely hope that Singapore can continue to maintain stability, unity, integrity, and the rule of law. I also do not want to see large-scale social conflicts that have occurred in other countries happen one day in the country where we have lived our entire lives. May our country continue to prioritize the well-being of its people, so that future generations can still be proud to be Singaporeans.
