Singaporeans Outraged At Inconvenience Of Not Being Scammed More Easily
A heated debate has broken out online over the grave injustice of banks not doing enough to make elderly citizens susceptible to financial fraud.
"It's an absolute travesty that my poor grandmother can still somewhat protect her life savings," fumed one netizen. "She should be utterly helpless and lose everything to scammers for the sake of progress."
Many Singaporeans argue that the elderly should embrace technology like banking apps, no matter how confusing or prone to hacking they may be. "Who cares if they get scammed?" asked one young person glued to his phone. "At least I'll get some inheritance money faster."
According to sources, entitled and lazy seniors refuse to take IT courses or learn skills. "They just want to blame society for their problems," complained a boomer expert. "If they were scammed more easily like everyone else, maybe they'd learn."
Activists are calling on banks to be more innovative in exposing older adults to fraud. "Exploiting the elderly is true innovation," said one banker. "We must disrupt outdated notions of financial security and ethics."
"Singapore must catch up to China's cashless dystopia," urged one eager netizen. "The government should force all money online and make scamming effortless. That's real progress!"
Some warn that delays in implementing shoddy digital systems leave Singapore at risk of falling behind. "We must digitize everything right away, no matter how flawed or unsafe," said an IT expert. "Who cares if a few old folks lose their life savings? Progress has costs."
For now, the backward practice of physical bank branches and ATMs still presents obstacles to swindling the nation's elderly en masse. But most agree it's only a matter of time until these relics are removed, allowing Singapore's most vulnerable to be freely exploited.
"Maybe if we're lucky, the elderly will just die off before they realize all their money is gone," said one hopeful young Singaporean eagerly awaiting his inheritance. "Then we can focus on building the smart nation we deserve."
