I.was impressed by groups of Malaysian volunteers..

[b***@gmail.com]

Its quite common to see various groups of young Malaysian going around at night in the street n giving out free food to those homeless ppl ( mostly came from the eastern side if Malaysia..ie Sabah or Sarawak) sleeping in the side pavement around KL streets.
U hardly see this sort of volunteer work done by our sg younger generation..

Probably they themselves being stressed up by the hi cost of living..

There are volunteers in Singapore doing charity work.

Many do go around chatting up and counsel those in need, too

Some involved daily distributing of packaged foods to the poor and disabled
living in one room rental flat in Jalan Kukoh and Chinatown and elsewhere,
too.

These charities worked behind the scenes, seeking volunteers to help them in
their distribution of foods.

Some were involved in collecting vegetables and other excess materials from
shops and businesses.

Others involved in cleaning and de-cluttering of these poor and aged and
disabled people.

Also medical supports like nursing and therapist now go to the source to see
and medicate them, on doctor's treatment basis.

Now medical support is brought to the sources as these poor and elderly and
disabled cannot afford old home.

Also there are not old folk homes. Also most are not keen to be confined and
kept in nursing homes, as their freedom of loitering around on their own is
restricted and curbed.

There is a need of having a community homes where these people can live in
the same blocks where communal cooking is provided for them to bond and
space to chit chat with each other with confidence and safety, too.

In my entire life...beside my family members, I HV great respect for ppl who are in this career..such as , teachers, nurses, caregivers n volunteers on charity works..they are the unsung heros!

Me too.

These people teachers, nurses, caregivers, and volunteers are indeed the
unsung hero.

The economy of these people cannot stop, not even a day.

Most people have to get on everyday regardless of their own personal needs
and problems.

Perhaps our papists should start working in these jobs before they become
ministers and CEO in the top echelon posts.
