hai went to so many places then see so many elderlys either sitting void deck or sitting around neighbourhood area whole day staring into space.. and the thing is there're so many of them.. no wonder Gvr want increase gst in order to feed them... then today was around this area near sembawang..then was asking for direction i found the block A and block C juz couldnt find block B inbetween but it couldnt be too far away.. so i approach about 15++ of these elderlys sitting around the neighbourhood playgrd but non of them even know where the block is..they've been staying ard the neighbourhood for their life or at least a few yrs n dunno where is the block"B" which is just nearby kiap in between the "A"&"C"?? then got some even act smart point to me the wrong direction.. put it in a aweful tone-"how useless could they be.."
juz wondering gvr says these elderlys can contribute to society.. but hor think again some of them everyday can only sit there wait for night fall b4 going back home to sleep..dunno how to go places outside of their neighbourhood..zzzsome even in their own neighbourhood. All those "benefits that elderly bring to society" in our social studies txtbk are just to console us.Think out of all the singapore elderlys only some educated ones or less then 10% of the ENTIRE Singapore elderlys population can really contribute bah.. the others are just for gvr feeding only..
Hello, when did the govt "feed" the elderly?
Please do not link gst increase with increased "help" to the elderly!
