I had a take other neighbours for granted neighbour. This neighbour only come back to Singapore once in a while and her mum will come over for a short stay.
Just a few days ago, the poor mother took the wrong set of keys out of the house and got locked out. I happen to passby and invited the old lady to come over to wait while I call the neighbour.
Neighbour requested for her mum to be at my place till she rush back. The poor old lady waited 2.5 hrs at my place for her daughter to come back. While waiting she asked me to call her daughter to ask her to come back faster.
I am wondering Singapore so 'BIG' meh? One need 2.5 hrs to rush home on taxi? (Coz, the neighbour mention that she is in the taxi rushing home.)
Another neighbour of mine told me that this is not the first time the poor old lady got locked out. Just a few month back, the old lady got locked out and was waiting for the daughter at the void deck and this other neighbour saw her and accompany the old lady for about 3 hrs for the daughter to reach home.

Special Need & Disability Card (DDR Card) Vs Orang Kurung Upaya Kad (OKU Kad)
Government encourage people with special need & disability to step out of their house. They offer travel concession for people with special need. They offer Singapore citizen only discount for entry to certain places of interest. However, they offer free entry to Singapore Zoo, Bird Park, River Safari & Night Safari for DDR card holder below 12 yrs old. And not all staff are aware of this, the first time we show them the pass at the zoo. The staff was lost and do not know how to respond. Senior Citizen price also only accorded to Singapore Citizen only.
OKU Kad - They offered special price for these group of special people. Whether is government operated or private operated, they just accord the special price so long you can provide the proof of identification. Senior Citizen are all accorded with senior citizen price - all you need is the proof of identification.
Are the support and awareness for the special need & disability are sufficient? The people around are looking at this group of people with a negative view. Our mayor Ms Phua had done a lot for this group of people but people are not really bothered about it.
How to change the view of these people to be more acceptable toward the special group of people.
