An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Just take a look at the alt media sites and personalities trying to twist what Minister Tan Chuan Jin said about the cardboard aunties and uncles. What he gathered was from a project by a group of youths who took the effort and make friends with these aunties and uncles to find out more about their situations. There are many reasons for those who are doing this. Some even do it for leisure and exercise which the group found out.
Here is the results from the findings by one of the youths which clearly stated from interacting with these aunties and uncles.
1. Most cardboard collectors do it for the money (no doubts about it).
2. Minority does it for other reasons – form of leisure/exercise, recycling (small but exists).
3. Most hold another job (in order to earn enough/have other sources of income security, depending on how you see it).
4. Most are financially able to support themselves/deny the need for assistance (again, depending on how you see it).
5. Most are supported/offered support by their families, including a few who do not want their families to know,as they do not approve.
