Dear The Real Singapore,

I refer to your earlier article: "DEAR TRS, PLEASE HELP THE OLD LADY SELLING THINGS OUTSIDE CINELEISURE!"

This old ah ma is always sell things outside cineleisure at orchard road and one of your readers shared the article saying that she looks very ill and is coughing very badly on the streets despite trying her best to earn a living at such a old age. She has been selling stuff on the streets outside Cineleisure for many years already despite being 80+ years old.
The reader also complained that why isn't the government helping her. He asked her stop selling if she is not feeling well but she told him that she can't cause she need to pay for her medical bills. She is still selling there now and vomitting beside her at the same time.

I went there yesterday wanting to find the old aunty and pass her some money but I couldn't find her there anymore.
Today I saw a update from Project Awareness - Share & Walk with me that broke my heart:
A very shocking news, maybe in this morning for those who read our post at Project Awareness. The old lady selling her stuffs outside Orchard Cineleisure passed away today at 00.06am. It is sad to break this news to all our supporters and friends, but let give her a LIKE for all the memories she given to us at Orchard Cineleisure.

Message from Tere Han: Zheng po po passed away today at SGH. Hope she really gave you guys memories of Aunty Cineleisure. Guess she is now in the good hands of (God/Lao Tian Ye/Allah) whatever. Hope she rest in peace and move on to afterlife to find peace and hope.

Is this how the government should treat our elders? Letting them work till they die?
