First to worry, last to enjoy.
The Pope sees the weakness of our richness: Inequality.
The Pope calls for more care and concern for poor, elderly, vulnerable, and foreign workers in Singapore despite our merit-based success. Whether it is welfare or fair wage, the Singapore story seems to treat them differently over the years.
Consistently, the haves and haven’ts in Singapore face two different lives. Up or Down. Up is increasing at an increasing rate and Down is increasing at a reducing rate. So, the rich and poor gap becomes bigger and bigger.
Not fair to say the government does nothing to improve the haven’ts. But it is certainly not enough. The Pope, as spiritual leader, is just expressing His kindness and concern and hopes the distribution of wealth can be improved.
La lingua italiana è bella ma non basta.
