WOTC - Speaking the truth

 Wisdom of the Crowd: 71% of the respondents said that the Singapore leaders often make statements that are not consistent with the facts but want to promote a narrative to support the government policies.

Speaking of truth. We are now living in an extremely complex world. A complex world where money and grades overrides everything else.

Thank You for speaking up not only for the elderly but also for their children who have to be troubled with all the red tapes. I am one of those children.
This only proved that we now have a government that is unfamiliar with the ground and only there to make unfriendly and troublesome rules. Voting them out needs serious considerations. Whilst my parents are lucky to have me, what about those who are childless???




Forum: Dad had a hard time submitting particulars to the police

Recently my dad, who is 74 years old, received a notice for a traffic offence and was told to submit his particulars through the Traffic Police website. Not knowing how to use the Internet, he asked me to assist him.

The first thing I noticed is that there is no way to provide the information other than via Singpass login. However, as he did not know those details, I had to request a mailed copy of his Singpass password.

After receiving the password, I tried to log in again but was notified on the website that a one-time password had to be sent to a mobile number. As my own mobile number was used for my Singpass login, I could not use it for him.


My dad does not own a mobile phone and now I have to get a phone for him just for this purpose.

It has been a frustrating process just trying to submit simple information to the police.

The system does not seem to consider the needs of the older generation of users who may not be literate or tech-savvy. There should still be an option for providing this information via a more traditional method, like filling up and mailing back a form.


The older generation should not be made to feel lost and out of touch over such matters.
