same feeling. and at the same time we see our legally paid highest salary government elites trying to justify their multi million payriseOriginally posted by av98m:You know, its fucking depressing at times.
I eat at food courts, hawker centres, practically all those clearing plates/cleaning up are elderly folk, some of whom are frail and hunched.
I go public toilets, same thing. Elderly folks.
I go fast food restaurants, same thing. Mostly elderly folks.
I walk around, elderly folks selling tissue, begging, rummaging rubbish bins for empty drink cans.
I don't know what to think, really.

our elites will say that its their own fault for not saving and investing enough for retirement, so get out of their elite uncaring faces.Originally posted by the Bear:to the elite, they do not exist because since when did the elite ever go to food court, hawker centres, public toilets, fast food restaurants and walk around the heartlands?
It might be their own choice to work, you know. I think sometimes it's better for these elderly people to work than just doing nothing at home. Keep them active and they will live longer.Originally posted by av98m:You know, its fucking depressing at times.

Well, perhaps , for some of them. But many of those cleaners/helpers have obviously difficulty even walking fast and their faces sure don't look happy. More like tired/resigned.Originally posted by honeymouse:It might be their own choice to work, you know.

Oh well, this is just me looking from another angle.
What happen to their children, if they have any? Even if they don't want the parents to stay with them, I don't think it's that expensive to feed them, is it?Originally posted by av98m:Well, perhaps , for some of them.

The begging and rummaging trash I'm sure is not by choice.
There is no free lunch and they do not want people to develop a crutch mentality.................while they themselves bitch and moan about not being paid as much as the top earners in the private sector.Originally posted by the Bear:*&$^#
if LKY and the rest of the asswipes think the country should be beholden to them forever (see the BS said by the ministers) then they have a moral duty to look after the elderly who slogged through our nation-building times..
oh.. i forgot.. there is no such thing as moral duty from them.. only a moral duty to them...
Well I can only speak for the cleaning aunties at my workplace.Originally posted by honeymouse:What happen to their children, if they have any? Even if they don't want the parents to stay with them, I don't think it's that expensive to feed them, is it?
That really does sound depressing. What happen to their cpf? Any aid from the government at all?Originally posted by av98m:Well I can only speak for the cleaning aunties at my workplace.
Most of them never married and have no children.
Those with children, either enstranged or their children have problems feeding their own families.
