We may not know, they are doing an effort that is too much to which our conscience may not be able to take.
Look at Mr. Tan Soy Kiang as an example.
He was 70 years old and was made to believe that he has a debt to the Singapore Government of over $400,000.
In 15 years, he struggled to pay this debt by having 2 jobs: a street cleaner in the morning and a pump attendant at night where he earns $1,000 for each job.
He also borrowed money from his neighbors and older sister for him to be able to pay it.
Everything started 15 years ago when 2 women approached him and claimed to be a part of the Singapore Government.
They told the old man that he has a debt to pay to the government and will be imprisoned if he will not be able pay them.
Since he has only few funds that time, they arranged it to be a monthly payment and every month during his payday, one of the two women will wait from the station to collect it.
It was only when her niece, Pamela Lim came from Australia to Singapore when it was discovered that he's paying a fake debt.
She was shocked after knowing on what is happenning to his uncle and confronted the women.
She made them confessed in a video and was seen by the police. She also made them agree to return $500 a month to his uncle.
Now, one of them was arrested and the other is assisting the police in the investigation.
After the public became aware of this, a lot of people offered help and one has already raised $46,000 for him.
