Recently, I was at a toilet in a shopping centre when I noticed an elderly woman with a bent and crooked back trying to clean the floor. I find this scene to be a sad reflection of society here, one that is played out daily in numerous shopping centres.
Although cleaning toilets is easy to learn, it is far from pleasant, given the bad toilet habits of Singaporeans. Besides this, it is a job that may be hazardous for the elderly, who are more likely to suffer serious fractures should they slip on the wet toilet floor rite?
It is shameful when we see our govt throwing money all over the world, when elderly citizens have to suffer the indignity of struggling for a living washing toilets. This is more than just sad, it is downright SHAMEFUL.
I just feel fucking sad whenver i see all these old folks slogging so hard washing the toliets, distributing flyers and stuffs..
Whatever happened to the values of humanity? Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
