Singaporean activist Gilbert Goh shared how he stumbled upon a couple of elderly men sleeping at a secluded void deck on mattresses.
He saw their personal belongings strewn all over the area, indicating that they might have been living there for a long time.
Here is what he said
Got a shock of my life when I stumbled upon two elderly men sleeping rough at a secluded void deck complete with mattresses and foldable chairs.
You don’t simply walk around after dinner straight into a unplanned homeless den in our modern society.
Their personal belongings are strewn all over the area showing signs that they have being there for a long time – away from the prying eyes of the public at a secluded corner.
I went to buy some bread for them afraid that they may go hungry as one of them seems to be quite scrawny in size.
There are other mattresses lying around indicating that there may be more rough sleepers than the two I came across.
I left the area still reeling from the shock of this unwanted sight of yet another small cluster of homeless elderly folks having to make the public area their home.
Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.
