- In Singapore, there are 22 night shelters or Safe Sound Sleeping Places (S3Ps), and six transitional shelters, providing temporary refuge for the homeless population as they await the availability of subsidised public rental flats. Shelter space is sufficient, but having a roof to sleep under comes with a slew of rules to follow.
In part two of the series, we follow the lives of six homeless individuals as they face the unexpected challenges of sleeping in temporary shelters. What happens when they break the rules?

Mdm Yeo's resilience and adaptability is very admirable.
At 81 she has a boyfriend. Easier than finding a co-renter I guess Lolz .
But I dont admire her money management skills. She once owned a condo but chose to blow all her money renting in private rather than buying a hdb studio which she could afford and was eligible based on her age.
@@lindc1070, This is the reason for her present predicament. Many people will plan to avoid this kind of predicament. I notice that a lot of people get into a pickle bcs of wrong decisions.
I don't want to be homeless at half her age. Why did she sell her home to start a biz at an advanced age? She had not been practical or realistic. If she had planned well she could be living a fab life now.
@@thescribe7117 exactly. In Singapord those who end up homeless either made very bad decisions or have mental illness. I think Darius does as he cant follow any rules. The govt heavily subsidises hdb, a studio with shorter lease is quite affordable and older folks are eligible. Or get a brand new 2 room from hdb.Subsidies make it very affordable.
@@lindc1070 I agree. Life in Sg seems untenable to me so I guess the stress gets to some people like Darius who should live in a laid-back country.
When I was watching Md Yeo's segment I was thinking if she had bought a studio hdb after selling her private condo then use the balance to do her biz I guess she wouldn't be in this quandary even if she had lost all her investments.
In fact I was surprised that at such a late age she still had the thought of going into a full-blown biz with such a big investment.
At this age by right she should not need to work if she had planned well since I think she does not have children.
Also it is not for us to say but I was wondering what's behind that boyfriend story? In such a relationship would an older woman's interests be a man's top priority,
especially if he's younger. Could he have caused her to be so reckless with her decision to sell her private condo,pouring all the money realised into the new biz?
I think her story has a behind-the-scenes reality Lolz *shaking my head*.
I really feel for the mom and her 2 children. How can you kicked your flesh and blood out their home. The mom she is awesome she's there withe her children and not abandon them. Still cook for them like a happy family even facing life obstacles. Her uplifting spirit for her children is more then words can say. I hope all of the people on this documentary are doing well.
I really want to help Raihan's family and Mdm Yeo. Is there a way to reach out to them?
the mother should b grateful that she's in Singapore and being looked after, in her native filipines she would just be treated like another worthless person on the road
@@pt4822 i can get u to raihan family
@@kyogofurahashi Totally. I'm amazed with the support the family is getting in Singapore. In Canada, they would have been living in a tent out on the street.
@@fazisaiah359 I've left them a message on LinkedIn.
I feel sad for the elderly who are homeless. Kudos to the social workers who help them.
Where is the families of these elderly people I thought Asian people would be better than westerners I guess not
No such thing . Do you really think they are helped in any way ?
People don't care.
Social workers don't care. It's just for show.
Mdm Yeo has such a positive spirit and just seemed like a genuinely kind and nice person. I hope she and mr ho manage to find a rental flat and spend the rest of their lives happily with each other.
As for Tok and Roslan, I hope they could somehow resolve their differences or if not just move on as strangers since they won’t be living together anymore. However I do think the shelter or that Edward guy could’ve installed cctvs to find out who is lying instead of evicting Tok right away. It’s unfair to him if he is indeed innocent.
you can tell Roslan is the one lying. If Mr Tok had hit him that would have been bruises. at their old age signs of a fight are easy to investigate. the edward guy is definitely bias without doing any actual investigation
Hmm, in my opinion, it's not really about who's lying; especially since in conflicts usually everyone is right, if that makes sense. Everyone is just 'reacting' based on their realities and difficulties/ stresses, so it's not fair to imply that one person is totally at fault, because we all have a role to play in triggering each other. What's more important to me is having them both take responsibility for managing their anger at each other.
To Raihan,mom and sister, suffering will not last forever but will cause us to preserver and a better person. God bless you all and make His face shine upon u all.
true. the children seem kind and very hardworking. and the mom is one of the reason. they were brought up well by her. good decision to leave a toxic environment. tables will turn for them ❤️
The care and humanity with which homeless people are provided for is absolutely amazing. Some kind of holiday shelter should be available for those who aren't allowed in from 7 am to 7 pm.
singapore is very hard working people, they are also very disciplined and Conservative. It is not run by bullshit liberals. You behave yourself singapore is a nice place to live. The homeless is only 600 population of like 5.4 million people. San Francisco has like 38k homeless and less than 1 million people live there. but that place is run by liberals.
I salute all the volunteers and applaud CNA for yet another superb documentary , this is all too real
Mdm yeo positivity and hardiness is exemplary..and her love story with mr Ho is adorable....
I like how they tell the reality life of Singapore, instead of only showing the luxurious life and how beautiful the country is
Compare young Darius to 51 y.o. Roselan who works 12 hours a day. If Darius doesn't want to improve his own life and continue breaking rules, no one can help him forever.
Darius is not a criminal,
Commenting on people’s apparent behaviour without knowing their in-depth background is sadly and certainly not helpful.
Darius is so young and he shouldn't continue like this forever! His journey ahead is way so long and hope he will work slightly harder to fix things up!
He is too rebellious. Perhaps re-enroll him in NS to learn discipline ?
join the gang member.
fight with parent regulation at home.
he is a bad guy.
now he is homeless.
it is his fault.
Darius is so much like my 2nd son who has 2nd child syndrom. I really feel for Darius. With love and attention, he will discipline himself. Take care dear❤
Darius may have some unresolved issues in his background that's why he is like that. When parents can so easily kick their kid out like that suggests possible lack of emotional attachment and possible abuse/neglect. I hope he finds his way through his storm without too much self destruction. Kids who join gangs are often searching for family, love and attachments they didn't receive at home.
But Nabilah and Raihan are some real nice kids, a true testament to their mother's loving nature and hardwork. Allah bless her through them and Allah bless them both in all that they do.
Jesus is king and the only way. Turn to him to be saved. Believe in him and receive salvation. ✝️🕊️🙏🏼✨
Look up testimonies of muslims and everyone and near death experiences. He is returning for the rapture. People are having rapture dreams. Don’t be left behind. Don’t go to hell.
This is very sad! My heart just breaks seeing this. I am South African citizen, I worked in Singapore many years ago. Its such a beautiful state and when I was there, there were no homeless people. Its so sad to see people there without a home. I can only pray that the Singapore government (which has always been a very good one) will assist homeless people to be housed. I wish I were there to also help and assist in whatever way I can. Maybe I will do that in the near future.
If you want to help, you can start with helping people in your own country. There are PLENTY of people in South Africa who can use help
Probably in an expat bubble
Bless these people. No one asks to homeless. People who work on these areas are doing their best. I feel for the elderly who are homeless. They should be given a higher priority, including families. I think there should be places that the government sets up that are run by homeless people for the homeless. This will give them a chance to work and earn their way. Many of these people are hard working and have skills, we should provide a safe space for them to do this. Bless them all and I hope they all find permanent homes soon. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Less than 1000 homeless in a city the size of Singapore is actually pretty good statistically compared to even most developed rich cities around the world.
Solid docu from CNA again. Really superb.
Also now I know next time if become homeless also, where to find help.
Mdm Yeo at 81 years old, look amazingly healthy and strong at this age. I thought she was in her 60s. I wish her well for her future and to have a good shelter with her partner.
As for Mr Tok's case is because of the rules setting. Expect him to go back to Philippines? Could he afford? Then what they expect him to do there to survive? Singapore is his home, they should allow him to rent in.
I thought Mr Tok had lived in Philippines for over 20 years ? That country is his second home and he got CPF payouts of $890 per month.
He has a house in the Philippines. He gets money from there. That's why they want him to return.
God bless the volunteers, who selflessly help the homeless
It's just for show.
Yeah I'm from South Australia and was homeless in Melbourne Victoria for 3 years on the street so I can relate to these people and I really feel for them, I pray that God helps them like how he's helped me, amen. ♥🥰
Those churches in Singapore... .... are not to be expected like those churches in your country. There are fake Christians out there but... ... the situation in Singapore WILL VERY LIKELY be rather... ... concentrated. Hahahahahahahahaha... ...
Singapore will need someone who can handle the mess to be in power to do anything; but that's very unlikely. Loong's situation means... ... the next PM hence the team for the job and hence the government HRM down to the bottom will be those parasites who can't function proper, if they even move in the first place.
Isn't that so obvious after all these years. Nay.... ... after all these decades?
Just compare the current PAP to the PAP when Lee Kuan Yew and Toh Chin Chye and Goh Keng Swee were running about to set things up... ... and weed out those f-kers to the current bunch. Not hard to see eh... ...
In real, basically... ... PAP itself will have to first revitalised before you can expect any 'help'.
It is a complete mess right now. So... ...
thank you for being so strong
Mdm Yeo seems polite and understanding. And she is grateful for help she received..Hope she will lead a happy life😊
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information.
This is really unfortunate but if you compare homeless people sleeping in subways in US and UK, Singapore gov is doing a good job.
👍
Compared to living in the UK it’s mind blowing to see how clean and orderly everything and everyone is.
Bless CNA for having true journalism to capture real Singapore
I wish I could personally help all these people. They really seem sweet
The fact that these people look like my aunts and uncles make me sad. Praying for their lives to turn around🙏🏻
@@vijay20 - the criteria is what they got at the time not what they did - that is the deal. What is so special about you to judge other people?
@@vijay20 not malaysia, probably back to the philippines. after all his daughter is there and he has a family house there actually
Being homeless is a tough situation. My family and I were homeless in my last year of school. Financial problems. My mom had borrowed money for friends who promised to pay her back, they never did. Family never helped. A few friends helped but only for a short time and because money ran out. These were people that my mother helped often. It was a tough year. God is faithful. I managed to finish school with all that stress and get a job and place to stay for me and family. We started over. We had lost and sold everything. The most painful thing was giving our dog away. He cried so much. 22 yrs later I still cry when I think of him, that hurt the most.
900 homeless for a city of 5.5 million is crazy good though. My city, which has a population of 60,000 and is relatively rich, has around 100 homeless people. Singapore has around 6100 people per homeless person vs around 600 per homeless person in my city.
There should have camera in the washing machine room to know who is telling the truth ....and in the shelter they need camera in order to know the truth of the environment and people who are living there ....

thank you
I'm glad Raihan's family has a place to stay in
After 23 years in PH, I don't get why Tok decides to return to SG. He could retire there with monthly CPF payout 890/month. HE have aa house and a daughter there.
1, his time is up - he is returning home 2, he can live comfortably once he got his HDB rental flat. He might be gaming the system to get the HDB rental flat by going "homeless". But the governement intentionally makes it hard for people who want HDB rental flats.
This Tok guy I have seen him around the area I live. This video is painting rosy impressions of him. Have seen him sitting in hawker with bottle of tiger beer keep staring at woman before.
Cause he's tired of eating pag pag in a third world country 😂
I have difficulty empathizing with Darius. He seems to have difficulty adhering to rules. And what was he doing outside after 10.30pm? Anyway, he is already suffering the consequences, so no judgement.
On the other hand, i iust feel for Nabillah and Raihan. The siblings and mum were under tremendous stress from a controlling dad. And they were forced out of their house. And they seem to be real fine kids. Aiyoh.
Looks like Darius may have ADHD and/or mental illness. His behaviour needs to be diagnosed and he may need medication to moderate his extreme impulses. I know becase i know a boy just like that. Medication helps but often they also refuse to take it 🤦♀️.
Maybe he has to work late and doesn't want to share his problems don't assume he's just a young punk
A lot of respect for Mdm Yeo, jiayou everyone
Great documentary - can we get a follow-up on what else is being done by the government to help? Wish the video didn't end so abruptly.. Wishing all the brave souls featured in the video all the best at finding more permanent homes.
Lies again? HDB Paris
This is only part two of a three-episode series.
SGD890/Mth can retire like king in Philippines. Why come back to SG after 23 years there? Some more got house in PH. Dont make sense...
of course not,maybe in 2001,still poor with that amount
890 a month in Philippines for 1 person should be sustainable, but you cant be a king with that money, believe me Also he is not a Philippine citizen and most probably getting a visa is quite an issue too. Aside from that he needs to pay tax as he is a foreigner. I think he still prefer to live in his own country as his wife is already gone.
Probably he came back to SG hoping that he can bring his children there. Unfortunately, his circustamces made it impossible. I wish I'm rich enough to help. 😢
Raihan is smart because exercise actually produce good mood hormones. It also make him more healthy.
Heartache for him to have toxic father. Prayers go to him and his siblings and mother. 😢
Agree. A bad spouse can cause a lot of harm to a family. Wish him and sister and mum all the best for the future . Hopefully HDB will allocate them a rental flat on their own once new rental blocks are ready. The pandemic caused housing issues as well. Hopefully hdb can catch up quickly on building new rental flats as well as bto.
@@zarine1958 they can rent after their son or daughter reach certain age. I think is age 21. Really hope their life improve from their toxic father.
@@celestialstar124: Raihan is already 21. His sister is 18.
@@myoldvhstapes what are you trying to smoke here? So what if he is 21? Will his abusive father stop hurting him when he is 21?
It does not matter what age a person is, physical and emotional damage is the same.
@@celestialstar124: I don't understand the emotion in your reply. You typed something about him becoming eligible for more housing when he turns 21.
Thank u singapore u provide anythink what we need
The social worker quite cute in a kid's way. She is so delighted over working w the elderly, lolz
very heartwarming to know that there are people on the job with real hearts in reaching out and helping
@@karen3705
Very rare
@@godsamazinggrace5331 have but not a lot. :)
This is home truly, where I know I must be...
Pray that our homeless fellow Singaporeans will be able to have a shelter over them soon.
Selflessness of these operators and social workers to help these bomeless people, kudos to them.
Hope the government can have more resources to help these people, who are temporarily displaced.
I am sure we all want to help,help those wbo are genuinely in trouble...and not having a shelter in times of need.
I thank CNA for this Documentary to make us aware there is a place to sleep for the homelss
Just get to know.
Roselan seems like a control freak. When your dealing with older people you have to be more respectful. So a 60 + yr old man that is obviously not in his prime health punched a very fit 50 yr old? Something isn’t adding up. Roselan’s attitude clearly shows that he’s got major control issues.
i mean, both parties were in the wrong, ros for scolding the elderly bc he was impolite, and the elderly for punching him
The way he rejected Roselan's CNY well wishes shows that the old man is no saint.
@@gohxinyan would you shake hands with the person who caused you to get kicked out of the shelter.
Roselan needs more humbling for sure
@@urbn9t that was by his own doing
Happy to have a roof on my head, a place to sleep, a pantry to make hot tea.... More then I ask for.
I feel Anthea Tay is very sweet, she compliments madame Yeo.
It really reminds me of Taiwan. I do miss living there
It's the organization and the peacefulness of living there
Working there is very stressful but living there is quite good
God bless you all. 🙏❤❤❤❤
As an American it boggles my mind they are able to quantify an exact number of homeless and it’s not even over a thousand!
Absolutely 💯.
CNN, propaganda dirty work.
Keep them out of Singapore.
Small country, smaller population, government is not exactly a democracy so bureaucracy is not as paper-pushing and slowly inefficient to tackle societal issues
@@daeseongkim93
Small population?! Singapore is almost 6 million compare to worst US state like San Francisco 3.3 million, Portland 2.2 million and Detroit 3.5 million that has the highest homeless, drugs and crime.
Hey, at least the SG govt focus on something unlike the US state govt going towards LGBTQ+ movement and don't bother the real problem. Meanwhile New York govt install LEGAL DRUGS vending machine and it was clean off in a single night.
You know it from the reality?
That’s just what the government wants you to think. Everything you know is controlled by the government . They only tell you what they want you to know . The truth about singaporean lives are way darker .
excellent
How can a government agency tell a Singaporean to go back to another country and wait while applying for a rental unit?? Bloody ridiculous la😮
Because he is asking for stuff from the government. You want something, you be a good boy
the cost of living in phillipines is much cheaper and he has a house there during the waiting period
He has the option to sell his house overseas? Or even just retire there? He can use his CPF to easily fund a comfortable lifestyle in the Philippines?
No it is not ridiculous.
These government agencies are only following the leads: get the old and poor (be it wealth/ health/ contribution etc) out of Singapore.
Invite the young and rich to stay.
Not ridiculous. He has a house and daughter in Philippines. What's he doing back in Singapore anyway without anything to his name.
support mdm yeo, i watched until cry for her...
me tooooooo
God bless your english man😂
Than u volunteer for helping MDM Yeo. At 83 she sh not be sleeping out ! This is heartbreaking and unacceptable!
I thought she had sold her home, twice ?
I hope Singapore Gov can provide a safety net for its most vulnerable citizens. Nothing fancy to encourage laziness, just somewhere to turn to during a time of crisis in this very prosperous country. I applaud CNA for paying attention to this social issue.
Very prosperous country that is running out of space.
Yes, they now have shared facilities rentals but I doubt Mr Hamad can bring his birds in as it could cause noise pollution.
@@hellosammy4105 you sure all that space is not being sold to private companies?
@@Melcor2304 So what if it is? Still running out of space.
Brain-dead take to think people in this situation are lazy.
it is good thing to know the "HIDDEN SIDE" of any country. Once I thought that SG do not have this kind of homeless problem and was eager to go work there one day. Now I feel bless and appreciate everything I have😅
Your country doesn't have homeless problem?
Which country you from? Look carefully at the underbelly of your society.
But i hope you are happy where you are.
You should help the unfortunate in your society too. Be happy, but be aware of your privilege and use it to help others.
There was a previous series which highlighted families living in rental flats similar to those mentioned by Roslan.
Kind of a weird take as every country in the world has a homelessness problem, even your own country and SG is one of the countries with the lowest % of homeless people in the world.
People really think this is like a reality tv show saying that the guy is favoured by Edward or wtv… the shelter would definitely have done their investigation and confirmed the incident before kicking anyone out… both parties at fault but no way there isnt some truth to the incident if it led to Mr Tok getting kicked out…
Help them ok. Thank you 🙏
Pray for everyone please
While the joint single scheme allows your housemate to keep a lookout for you, it's really tough to find someone compatible though..
Really
Government need to take care of the homeless, house the sick.
Darius was the hardest for me to watch. Hope his family takes him back.
I am sure that your mum is heart broken to see you living like this. Pls reconcile with your mum, Darius.
If Darius has a special need, he needs love and counselling. Not wondering the street aimlessly.😢
It's hard because the authorities can't force him to go for counseling, if he did not commit any crimes and is jailed or put in rehabilitation homes. The most the social workers can do is recommend assistance programs for him but he don't seem like one who will abide.
Mdm Yeo is so sweet!
I am grateful to be an Indonesian, in my country poor & neglected parents are provided with a special place with 3x free meals & cared for until they die without the slightest cost
Exactly like in China too.... my godchildrens' father is a developer and homes are offered to the poor, first all his relatives, then others.
@@jannieabdullah7837 hahaha I don't think China will provide food and home to homeless people at least not to native
Then why are there so many homeless and beggars in Indonesia?
@@Sminsky ...money👐... Money👐... Money 👐...

The living condition in Singapore way better than in Hongkong .
Wow at least their mom is wth children .
But again sad story
How can we help? Wish CNAInsider could use the platform and views to share fundraisers or links.
My rankings for this episode:
1. Mdm Yeo
2. Raihan + family - I applaud their courage for saying no to the abusive person and leaving without bringing much with them
3. Tok - seems like a person set in their ways.. then again he is in his late 60s
4. Roselan - something about him that doesn't seem right, he doesn't smile. Have to give him props for asking for permission and accepting the answer.
5. Darius - hopefully he learnt a lesson after being discharged. The rules for the shelters are there to ensure least disruption for users as explained by the staff member.
A big thumbs up for Anthea, seems like she really loves her job.
Personally I would put Darius above Roselan. Roselan feels like that kind of manipulative guy somehow. They are way more toxic than the kind of clear rule breaker Dairus is.
hey isn’t it a bit messed up to be ranking the people here? they’re not characters in a show, they’re real life actual people
I dont think it is appropriate to rank them, they are human beings too, like you and I.
Yeah I really dislike Roselan, something tells me he knows he's being favorited by Edward so he's misusing Edward's trust on him and the power Edwrad has placed upon him. Mr Tok doesn't seem problematic I mean Mr Tok already washes his clothes outside since he says someone keeps stopping the machine so why would he try to wash it on Sundays
@@BrittenelleandOrionKMG this is not a reality show. They are real people with real personalities and real issues.
Roslan is actually working hard and doing his best to keep afloat amidst his situation. So his everyone.
Have some sense + empathy.
Here in my country.. much worse..
Homeless people doesnt have any chance to find shelter.. except maybe their families or friends or neighboors or random kind hearted people helping them to settle "for a while".. which is very rarely to be happen..
No shelter place for homeless people in my country..
What i see in this documentary.. Singapore shelter have so much better housing than over half population in my country..
So if any of them feel ungrateful for whatever it's situation in shelter.. well really i'm speechless..
Hope all can find a place that they can call home. The timeframe is rather long for HDB to allocate rental home.
I also am persplexed as to why hdb has such long waiting period for rental flats. I live not far from a rental block. Often i see many units are not occupied. Whats going on ?
@@zarine1958if you're so concerned, have you actually at least check via the proper channels, rather than asking here where no one can give you a real answer?
HDB is really dodgy these days. A lot of complaints.
@ 46:39 Tok and Roselan are playing juveniles, megawd!!! 😁😁😁
Oh well, they have been through a lot but I wish someday they will find in their hearts to reconcile and put their differences behind. But most likely, they won't be crossing paths again after this scenario. All the best for both of them and toMdm. Yeo and her partner. And so with Susana and her 2 children.
somebody once said "There are no poor people in Singapore" in 2003
Only God bless you all
Spooner Road. Old KTM Flats for their Staffs working in T.Pagar Railway. Now a Rented Flat for the underprivilage,social problems community. And not forgetting Haunted during the Nights. Take it or leave it.
I have watched many reports on homelessness that is a global phenomenon. They never interview the homeless people what they need. I like to hear from them directly. I asked some of them in NYC in 2017. They wanted jobs, highly paid ones in partucular.
Who dont want a highly paid job? But do they have the skill set to do it?
@@Strik3Fr33dom2 That's the point. What you want and the workforce need doesn't match.
Makes me appreciate that I have a roof over my head...
these shelter tenancy problems will be needed to address in HDB new Hostel/rental facility.
I never though that there are homeless people and there is also poverty in Singapore.
That what I knew is that Singapore a very rich first class country.
No such thing as a country without poverty or homelessness. However, it is much much lower in Singapore compared to elsewhere.
Astig tlga pinay galing magtaguyod ng pamilya kahit mag isa
There are 900 homeless people on any block in the city of Los Angeles.
Best country
There's a very fine thin line between accepting your fate so you can move forward in life and getting used to your circumstances then never moving on from there. Most of them are in the 2 category & clearly doesn't have anyone significant in their life to help them believe that change is possible. Material gains can only go so far as harsh as it may sound. They need to trigger a change and endure that short period of suffering to move foward. That's how harsh life is and it's not any easier here in Singapore since humans are the only main resource.
singapore the best!
Technically as a Singaporean I’m homeless in Singapore too due to a bitter divorce and my ex not abiding my the judges rule to sell the house and return and CPE monies.. as a result, I’m living overseas where my salary can afford me a shelter over my head and food to eat at a fraction of the price of what the rental and living costs is in Singapore
23:12 Whoa I think Tony is a Man Utd fan that's why Roselan keeps pausing his washing machine lol
Mdm Yeo🥺❤️
That's so ridiculous to ask him to return to the Philippines to wait...surely we can do more
Air ticket will def be an issue for him. On the other hand also there are people that have no property in SG or overseas which also means they are in a much more "urgent" situation than him in this case. There's really no perfect answer to this homelessness issue 😢 the government can't give them all they need if everyone starts losing their homes and using their $ mindlessly everyone would end up in these subsidized homes. These situations are hard to manage and the way they deal with it is to set strict laws and rules to try to prioritize the rough sleepers accordingly
Yes, can't believe that's what the government agency say to our own fellow Singaporean. The person giving such advise also not right in the head
ya but he has a house there and his children are there? i don’t understand why he doesn’t want to live at ph. something is not adding up
Mr Tok is a pure Singaporean and he is right to choose retiring in Singapore. He is a professional truck driver and Singapore need such skillful men instead of hiring from outside.
Huh?he maybe skilled truck driver,but can't u see,he walking with umbrella as his walking stick,also he live in Ph for 23years.
17:16 i didn't expect myself to actually cry when they say only the Singaporean children are allowed. 😢
🙏 Rules and regulations are needed to run shelter homes.
🙏 Everyone using the shelters need to put some volunteered hours to keep the place neat, clean and tidy.

I hope all these homeless people in SG find a forever shelter. It is difficult to be homeless. Here in America, we have a lot of homeless people but this is so because they are hooked on drugs for most of them & refuse to get help.
Even to homeless people many many rule. This is y some of them don want help.
Does anyone know if the ah ma still can sew / tailor dress ?
this mdm yeo very cute. it would be nice to see who this Mr Ho is :)
hiding, perhaps a typical married old man

The uncle got evicted because of Roselan, why did the management decide so quickly to evict him? Nv talk out first? Or is it because Roselan volunteered to look after the place they sided him. Just doesn't make sense.
Roselan is clearly doing something to improve his living situation by working 12 hours a day. The old uncle is nice, but dude is a typical choosy boomer who prefers to relax instead of taking on whatever jobs available. I too would've picked Roselan in a heartbeat.
@@DROW_GG It seemed that uncle got health issue. Thus, he could not take on whatever jobs available.
Social deterioration😢😢😢😢😢... Have compassion for others!!! Sad... Every family have problems😢😢😢😢😢
