There is this lady at Tampines MRT who begs with her daughter. I notice her leg looks gangrene. Does anybody know who I should contact so that she can get medical attention?

Called Tampines town council they refer me to SMRT. Called SMRT can't get through. Called NCSS and they are refering me to Tampines family center. Hopefully something can be done.
Don't bother with Town Councils and SMRT. They are a bunch of id**ts who will not take up the responsibility. The best would be to bring them to CGH for the doctos to examine her condition and refer to the Social Service workers there, but that may be a bit difficult as the lady may not be agreeable or willing to do so.
Otherwise, you can relate this matter to the Social Service Council and press directly to create awareness and put some pressure on the Social Service Council to take action.

this lady has been selling tissue there for years... wander if the daughter goes to school?lady begging or lady selling tissue?? :think:
Erm.. I don't think it's fair to call the Town Council and SMRT a bunch of id**ts. Their job is not to be a kind-hearted samaritan and offer assistance to every tissue seller that ply their goods outside the station.

oh... erm... near the interchange?dis lady happened to stay ard my area lor...
I agree that their job is not to be a samaritan, however they just seem to push the responsibilities whenever something happens. I remember seeing an aunty fell as she was exiting from one of the stations and a staff who walked pass the lady just can't be bothered and continue walking after glancing at the lady. No other staff came to help and it was the commuters who helped the aunty to her feet. Someone went to the station control and apparently was telling the staff about it as he was pointing to the aunty and nothing happened, still no staff came to assist. :thumbsd:
Singapore still got this kind of things happen in our daily life :cry:
Yap I also notice that about a year ago during my ITC on my back home around 6pm, I saw her with a girl age about less than 15 years old near the traffic light of Tam MRT Station ops Tam Mall.
This year end of Aug till mid Sep during my ITC period again same time and same on my way home, I still saw them at the same area.
Very sad to see this in Singapore :cry:
TS, you are a Kind heated guy that I respect you for your courage to start this thread :thumbsup:
I hope there are more Kind Heated :hearts: people like you will help the poor.
Best Regards, Yao
It's not about kindness. I don't think people should be living like that. Hopefully the social service can fix this issue.
