In a bid to reach out to the homeless, activist Gilbert Goh and a team of volunteers took to the streets of Bugis and Lavender on Saturday (Sept 5) night to hand out blankets and necessities to those who were sleeping rough.
Sharing their outreach efforts on his Facebook page, Goh highlighted some of the disadvantaged folk the group came across.
One man, described as “probably the most pitiful homeless person we encountered so far” had been in the same spot for at least two months, Goh shared.
“He would place cardboard all around him as if to carve out a personal space for himself even though he is sleeping alone in a 10m by 10m area. He is the only homeless person who does this in all my many encounter [sic] so far with the displaced folks.”
“We are glad to pass him a blanket towel and some biscuits to remind him that there are people who still care in this dark cold world,” he said. “Do something good for Singapore.”
Another was sleeping on the ground without so much as a piece of cardboard for insulation.
