This is one reason why our government is often being labelled as autocratic and uncaring

"This is one reason why our government is often being labelled as autocratic and uncaring as the country is run like a corporation derived of any compassion and emotion. "

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”

Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)

As If There is Nothing to Lose: How giving comes from gratitude.

Once I was young and poor—and generous. I shared an old house with several people and slept on the porch and owned nothing more valuable than my bicycle. I volunteered many hours every week at community organizations. One day, when I had only five dollars, I treated a friend to dinner, and afterward we laughed about my now total poverty. It was easy to give away what I had; I never doubted that the world would somehow provide for me in turn.

Will we reach the level of true graciousness to have this sign?

Where's the soul?

“If [man] is not to stifle human feelings, he must practice kindness toward animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of man by his treatment of animals.”
Immanuel Kant, 1724-1804Lectures on EthicsI thank you for your kind attention

Elderly man robbed while in distress

Letter from Raymond Lo Wan Mou

IN HIS May Day message, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called on Singaporeans to work together to sustain growth.

I would say it is equally important that Singaporeans must have a soul in them.

My life-threatening experience on Feb 21 showed otherwise, alas. Not only was I - as a 71-year-old taxi driver - ignored by passers-by when I lay on the grass verge at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 for about half an hour, I was also robbed of my night's driving income in my distress.

I was subsequently hospitalised for three days for a suspected heart attack.

Such uncaring and unconcerned attitudes must change, and fast, so Singapore can be known as a caring society.

We must start a culture of caring for people from a very young age, reinforce this value at pre-school age, and continue through tertiary education.

If we acquire a caring culture, our future will be secure.

Cats from SAME location, DIFFERENT "destinies"

Three cats, abandoned into homelessness, shared a single location but different "destinies".
The two boys are now adopted into good homes.
The girl is still sleeping under cars and depending on the kindness of caregivers to give her food and water.

Are "destinies" fixed fates or subjected to changes?

Can cats change their "destinies"?

As human beings, we certainly can?

We can speak out against KILLING as the default modus operandi! It doesn't work and a waste of public fund.

We can advocate for STERILISATION to reduce the number of cats as less cats will decrease the intolerance.

We can start sterilise the cats at our downstairs.

We can volunteer ourselves with our town councils to help the property officers to look into complaints about cats. Without alternative, the properyt officers will just activate their pest controllers.

We CAN change the destinies of the cats, for those that remain homeless.

Children see. Children Do.
