An interesting look at how helping can actually be harming....In article 2, see this in the context of the Singapore Govt. The Govt has tried to avoid the welfare state model for a long while because of this, especially so given our lack of natural resources and shortage of manpower, which demands that everyone's potential has to be milked and maximised, i.e. we cannot allow complacency to set in, which is what is likely to happen if we know the govt WILL help us. But the recent budget seems to indicate that the govt is indeed moving more towards the welfare model.....
Help is good, but too much help can be crippling....(crutch mentality syndrome)
