Singapore is the third-richest country in the world, ranking behind only Qatar and Luxembourg, according to Forbes magazine. In this young but affluent independent city-state, it may be hard to imagine that there are individuals who are struggling to break out of their own cycles of poverty at the fringes of society as the rest of the nation march on steadily toward economic progress and material success.
