Seniors
65 and above in S'pore are all discarded as had beens..Past their
economic value to the country...That is what PAP government's
mentality..a economic liability to the nation..Sigh!
To this day, PAP rolled out goodies and frisbees for young citizens, to be married couple ( the just announcement of the parental package and and extra aids for kids with major illnesses.)
Today,(24.1.13) the PAP laid another gold platter for parents leaving children in Childcare Centres..Is it a sinister co-incidence of the Punggol East By -Election (PE BE) ? Another sugar-coating of bitterness..coming under the agenda of political manipulation at the expense of innocent citizens. PAP should never use political tools to achieve their selfish means!!
Seniors..in the eyes of PAP are a liability to the State..hence there is no empathy and compassion for the ruling PAP to assist seniors..but to let us rot with sickness...and suffer the indignity of abandonment by our govt.
To the govt of PAP ..if your vested interest to the country is not economically sustainable ...why would the govt help you?..You are no more contributing to the country.
Hence Seniors of S'pore are the most sad lot of citizens compared to many in countries of the world!!

Welcome to S'pore Inc.. This is what happens when you run the country like a corporation.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're >65 (actually, over 40+/50, but that's another story), you're over the hill and primarily a burden to the Govt. So all the policies are designed to reduce that burden by making sure that you bear it, not the Govt.
No money for medical care? Pls exhaust all your savings first (but not Medisave huh ... must leave enough for "old age" defined as >75). Still not enough? Who are your siblings, children? Every sibling and children's Medisave must now be exhausted first. Still not enough? Where you stay? Oh .. 4 room HDB flat. Then pls downgrade to studio apt and use the balance .. but again, make sure some goes to Medisave first hah (in case you live up to 85 or 90 mah).
Even seemingly egalitarian policies like having more kids, or child subsidy have a "corporate edge" to it. These are human capital, not the over-the-kill kind. So its viewed as investment in human capital, not spending per se. So that Sgp Inc. can compete in the new world.
Besides, spending on kids can measure with KPI. Birth rate goes up from X to Y. Spending on elderly, very hard to measure by KPI. Reduce occurences of strokes?? We never hear any Ministers say something like this right?
A good perspective of deliberation....
