Why didn’t the CPIB themselves call the embassy in the first place ?

What culture are we talking about ? Singapore culture is shaped by the policies of this government. No tolerance, no mercy, no money no talk and etc.

Our Singapore’s progress has brought about the lack of compassion & indifference to our society. This is the country where money is linked to great power & the ‘u die, your own problem’ mentality? I really feel our PAP government is getting more & more hopeless. Gone were the times where they were good, efficient & take care of its citizens. Sign……

My guess is that the CPIB calling TWC2 is the “confidential information”. No govt department is supposed to be asking an NGO for help, perhaps? that every govt dept is infallible, perhaps?

Yawning Bread, you should really investigate more on the embassy angle. I think it is very likely that it is the proper way of handling these cases. Singaporeans in distress overseas do look for the Singaporean embassy (if there is one).Rather than dismissing it out of hand, perhaps you could check it out and write another article here?

In the face of these govt people and leaders, I’d use these reserved and carefully chosen words. KNN CCB.

Previous PM National Day speech encouraged citizens NOT to adopt “boh chup” attitude.
Well it’s look like its the very same “boh chup” responses from all the government organisations with the typical “Kia Si” attitude.

Remember the infamous phrase “Get out of my elite uncaring face” uttered by the daughter of a PAP ex-MP.

Maybe this sort of mindsight can explain why our PAP Govt leaders are not walking the talk in asking us to be a more gracious & kinder society, no ?

EternalSpotlessMind, if you want to donate to TWC2 (and also HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATION FOR MIGRATION ECONOMICS, a similar charity that helps foreign workers, maids, etc) an easy way to do so is via SG Gives:
