Food Delivery Riders get 1st-hand look at the ridiculous rich-poor SES divide in SG

[hunter-killer]

After the first few days of cycling around, I realised I am seeing Singapore in a way I’ve never seen before.

By that I mean, in town, there are pockets of public housing on the outskirts. Like Jalan Kukoh, Jalan Sultan, Crawford Street. Man, it’s weird … The blocks are not maintained very well, the paint is peeling off the walls, some corridors smell of urine.

Then you walk past all the doors along a very long corridor, and you always see some ah pek sitting in a singlet, by the door, just facing the world with a blank look on his face.

Do you think in Singapore discriminates against poor people? In my town, several restaurants openly show "entrance only for rich people," but I think it's wrong. I never have dinner at a restaurant like this, even though I have the money to do it. I'll keep ordering food where any visitor is welcome. I found a site where you can look at comparisons of different catering restaurants https://ww.moneyunder30.com/meal-delivery-comparison . For me, comparing the prices of products and delivery, the quality of service, and so on is interesting.
