Singapore is like that…you have the smartest taxi drivers there. It's rather sad really. And the old lady…oh my gosh made me cry. Why aren't her kids there for her?? This reminds me of all the old, fragile Chinese ladies and gentleman who try to sell tissues by the side of the road. Or the old lady that plays the Chinese violin in the MRT station. They don't receive any assistance whatsoever. I really don't understand how kids can leave their parents like that. Especially in the Asian culture. I know apartments in Singapore are tiny…but come on…

I didn't know about this blog. Thanks for sharing this. I love the way he writes. This post was so sad. How can anyone abandon their parents like that?

What a beautiful and heartbreaking story. It makes me smile to know there are still good people in this world who want to help others. I feel so badly for that poor old woman….to think she has a family and they don't help her…what a shame.

You know what's sad? Everyone who asks me WHY I keep supporting my family doesn't understand that that story about the old lady is exactly what I fear for my parents. I simply can't have that.
