2Image from ‘Singaporeans Against Poverty' Facebook pageSary avy ao amin'ny pejy Facebook-n'ny ‘Singaporeans Against Poverty' (Mponin'i Singapour Manohitra ny fahantrana).
3Mety ho Singapour no tany manan-karena indrindra eran-tany kanefa niakatra izay tsy izy ny isan'ireo tokantrano mahantra monina ao amin'ity tanàn-dehibe feno fandrosoana ity, taona vitsisitsy izay.
4‘Singaporeans Against Poverty' is a campaign that aims to raise awareness about poverty in Singapore.Mba hampiharihary ny fitaran'ny fahantrana ao Singapour, dia nanatontosa ny ‘Singaporeans Against Poverty' ny vondrona Katolika Caritas:
5It springs from our concern for those in Singapore caught in the cycle of poverty despite our economic success.Ny ‘Singaporeans Against Poverty' dia fanentanana iray izay mikendry ny hahatonga saina ny olona momba ny fahantrana ao Singapour.
6The group has uploaded several articles, photos, and videos which reveal the growing gap between the rich and poor in Singapore.Izany dia niainga tamin'ny fahatsiarovantenantsika momba ireo milomano anatin'ny fahantrana ao Singapour, na dia eo aza ny fahombiazany ara-toe-karena.
7Below are two YouTube videos which remind Singaporeans to be more aware and sensitive about the rising poverty in the community:Namoaka lahatsoratra, sary, ary horonantsary maro ilay vondrona, izay mampiseho miharihary ny elanelana misy eo amin'ny manan-karena sy ny mahantra ao Singapour.
8Ireto ambany ireto misy horonantsary roa avy ao amin'ny YouTube izay manaitra ireo mponina ao Singapour mba ho tonga saina sy hiara-hientana momba ny fiakaran'ny fahantrana eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina:
9Bertha Henson summarized the message of the campaign:Namintina ny hafatra tao anatin'ny fanentanana i Bertha Henson:
10Just what sort of message is it?Karazana hafatra inona moa ity?
11It is to alert people here that there are poor in our midst, who do not complain about the price of cars and homes because they're wondering about their next meal.Natao hampahafantatra ny olona ity fa misy vahoaka mahantra aty aminay, izay tsy mba mitaraina akory momba ny vidinà fiara sy trano noho ny fieritreretany ny sakafony manaraka.
12Curiously, a former diplomat has proudly declared in 2001 that poverty has already been eradicated in Singapore.Tsy nisy fisalasalana akory ity manam-pahaizana iray nanambara tamin'ny 2001 fa efa nihena ny fahantrana tao Singapour.
13Kishore Mahbubani wrote:Nanoratra i Kishore Mahbubani:
14There are no homeless, destitute or starving people in Singapore.Tsy misy olona tsy manan-kialofana, mahantra na maty noana ao Singapour.
15Poverty has been eradicated, not through an entitlements program (there are virtually none) but through a unique partnership between the government, corporate citizens, self-help groups and voluntary initiatives.Efa foana ny fahantrana, tsy tamin'ny alalan'ny lalàna (izay tsy ahitàna na inona na inona) fa taminà fiaraha-miasa teo amin'ny governemanta, vondron'olom-perenena, ary vondrona mpanao asa an-tsitrapo.
16But an article by Roy P exposed that homelessness is still a problem in Singapore:Kanefa lahatsoratra iray nosoratan'i Roy P no naneho fa mbola olana ao Singapour ny tsy fananan-kialofana:
17…it's still hard to imagine how there are people who are homeless and sleeping on the streets even after we've attained first-world status, and for all the progress we've made over the years.…mbola sarotra ny mieritreritra hoe fa nahoana no mbola misy olona tsy manan-kialofana sy matory eny an-dàlana, na dia efa tratrantsika aza ny laharana voalohany eran-tany, eo ihany koa ireo ezaka be dia be natao nandritry ny taona maro.
18As I mentioned, the irony of prosperity and economic success is that it only widens the divide between the rich and the poor, and the poor become poorer.Araka ny nambarako, dia mampiomehy ihany ilay hoe matanjaka ara-toekarena nefa mampiharihary ny elanelana misy eo amin'ny manan-karena sy ny mahantra, ary ao anatin'izany dia miha-mahantra hatrany ireo mahantra.
19Meanwhile, the Ministry of Social and Family Development has rejected proposals to define poverty or set a poverty line:Nandritra izany dia nolavin'ny Minisiteran'ny Fampandrosoana ny Ara-tsosialy sy ny Fiainam-pianakaviana ilay tolo-dalàna mamaritra ny fahantrana na ny fametrahana ny refin'ny fahantrana:
20A poverty line does not fully reflect the severity and complexity of the issues faced by poor families, which could include ill health, lack of housing or weak family relationships.Tsy maneho ny maha-goavana sy maha-sarotra ireo olana sedrain'ireo ankohonana mahantra ny refim-pahantràna, izay mety ampian'ny tsy fahasalamana, tsy fahampian'ny toeram-ponenana na ny fianakaviana manana fifandraisana marefo.
21If we use a single poverty line to assess the family, we also risk a ‘cliff effect', where those below the poverty line receive all forms of assistance, while other genuinely needy citizens outside the poverty line are excluded.Raha mampiasa ny refin'ny fahantrana fotsiny isika mba hisokajiana ny fianakaviana, dia mety hisy voka-dratsiny izany, ka ireo izay ambanin'ny refin'ny fahantrana dia mahazo fanaraha-maso, raha toa kosa ka voahilika ny sasany izay tena mahantra fadiranovana.
22But Kirsten Han argued why setting the poverty line is important:Fa niady hevitra kosa anefa i Kirsten Han ny amin'ny maha zava-dehibe ny fametrahana refin'ny fahantrana:
23The existence of a poverty line does not mean that all focus should be directed towards those who fall below it.Tsy midika anefa ny fisian'ny refin'ny fahantrana fa any amin'ireo izay voakasik'izany ny fifantohana rehetra no hiompana.
24An official poverty line shows that the poverty is an issue acknowledged by the government to exist as part of the structure of society.Ny fametrahana ny refin'ny fahantrana amin'ny fomba ofisialy dia mampiseho mibaribary ny faneken'ny governemanta ny maha olana goavana ny fahantrana izay mandrafitra ny fiaraha-monina.
25Once we see that poverty exists as a structural problem, more steps can be taken to address the distribution of resources and opportunities.Vantany vao hitantsika fa olana ara-drafitra ny fahantrana, dia maro ireo dingana tokony hirosoana amin'ny fizaràna ny harena sy asa rehetra.
26Refusing to define poverty doesn't mean that no one is poor; it just means that we don't get the full picture of what work needs to be done.Tsy midika akory ny fandavana ny famaritana ny fahantrana hoe tsy misy olona mahantra mihitsy; midika fotsiny izany fa tsy mbola fantatsika tsara hoe inona no tokony atao.
27Blogging for Myself accused the government of advancing a wrong set of values and priorities:Miampanga ny governemanta ny Blogging for Myself noho ny fametrahany tombana diso ny amin'izay tena zava-dehibe:
28It is not true helping the poor has no returns.Tsy marina ny filazana fa tsy misy valiny ny fanampiana ny mahantra.
29It is about being and staying human and giving ourselves a future.Fanomezana hasiny ny maha-olombelona izany sady fanolorana ho avy ho antsika ihany koa.
30Its value cannot be quantified…Tsy azo refesina sy vidiam-bola ny lanjan'izany…
31This government has its values in the wrong place.Manana lanja diso toerana ny governemanta.
32They are all invested in economics and engineering but impoverished in anthropology and I haven't even begin to talk about spirituality and investing in our souls.Tsy nikely soroka tamin'ny ara-to-karena sy ny foto-drafitr'asa izy ireo ka zary nampahantra ny fianarana ny maha-olona sy ny fiaraha-monina ary tsy lazaina intsony ny momba ny fiainam-panahy sy ny fikelezan'aina ny amin'ny fanahintsika.
33Nomad insisted that measuring the GDP is incomplete without defining poverty in the country:Nanantitrantitra i Nomad fa tsy feno ny fandraisana fepetra momba ny GDP raha tsy faritana ny fahantrana ao amin'ny firenena iray:
34Poverty line is a hand in hand assessment along with GDP to gauge how well a govt is running the country, you shouldnt have one without the other.Miara-dàlana amin'ny GDP ny refin'ny fahantrana mba hamantarana hoe manao ahoana tokoa ny fampandehan-draharahan'ny governemanta eto amin'ny firenena, tsy tokony handeha ila ireo.
35How does establishing a poverty line statistics deprive other genuine citizens outside the line?Amin'ny fomba ahoana no hisakanana ireo tena olom-pirenena sasany ho any ivelan'ilay refy amin'ny alalan'ny fandrafetana ny salan'isa faritan'ny refin'ny fahantrana?
36Hello?Aiza e?
37Social services are run by man, not robots.Ny olona no mampandeha ireo sampan-draharaha ara-tsosialy fa tsy “robots” akory.
38Human can be flexible. You mean you cant help genuine cases because they are above a yardstick estimate and you need to stick to the line?Tsy afaka ny hanampy ireo tranga tena izy ve izany ianao satria ambanin'ilay fari-piainana voafaritra izy ireo ka ny hany sisa azonao atao dia ny mijanona fotsiny eo amin'ilay refy, izay ve no tianao ho lazaina?
39Belmont Lay bemoaned the ‘poverty of Singapore's poverty data':Namelabelatra ny ny fahantran'ny salan'isan'ireo mahantra ao Singapour i Belmont Lay:
40It may come as a shock to some people when you tell them that there is poverty in Singapore.Mety ho lasa fanafintohinana ho an'olona ny filazanao aminy fa misy fahantrana ao Singapour.
41But you know, and I know, poverty is universal and Singapore is definitely not immune to this problem.Kanefa fantatrao, ary fantatro fa misy eran-tany ny fahantrana ary tsy lavitr'izany velively i Singapour.
42But what's truly shocking is the poverty of Singapore's poverty data.Fa ny tena manafintohina dia ny fahantran'ny salan'isan'ny olo-mahantra ao Singapour.
43Singapore is a country that is known for defining everything.Firenena iray malaza ho mpamariparitra amin'ny zavatra rehetra i Sngapour.
44But when the time comes to draw the line at who is poor, or rather, poor enough, we falter.Kanefa very hevitra tanteraka isika rehefa tonga ny fotoana hamaritana ny refin'ireo mahantra, na ireo mahantrahantra ihany, ireo antonontonony.
