提供公平，公正，公开致富的途径，或者称为上升通道也行；古人说的好 “授人鱼不如授人渔”

培养勤劳的风气,才是正途.

不过,有些传统和习性, MS很难培养.

According to the Department of Statistics, 105,000 families in Singapore are earning on average $1,500 or less per month. This means that life is a daily struggle for some 387,000 Singapore citizens and permanent residents. After paying utilities, schooling, housing rental or loan instalments and medicals, they are left with about $5 a day for food and transport per family member. How do they do it? Can they? How does it feel to be their shoes? Whatever you think or feel, suspend your disbelief or judgement and find out for yourself!

The $5 Challenge is on!

What is it, you ask? We want you to try limiting your food and transport expenses to $5 a day. (It’s time to catch that free MRT ride every morning!)

Why $5?

Figures from the Household Expenditure Survey of 2007/08 show that for households at the bottom fifth of income levels, each member spent 25.9% and 8.8% of his or her total monthly expenditure on food and transport respectively.

According to the Key Household Income Trends for last year, each member of the bottom 10% of households earned an average of $410 per month excluding employer’s CPF contributions. This works out, per person, to about $3.54 per day on food and $1.20 per day on transport. Rounded up this adds up to $5 a day for food and transport.

We're heartened to see some of you committing up to a month to this! Why not challenge your friends or colleagues to do this too? You could do it together -- it's likely be easier!
