This not the way to solve the root of problem. It is
understood, there is no welfare in sg to help such people. If
u are lucky like this ah ma manage to go on interview and get her
plight showcase. It is only then people will take note of her and
arrange some form of welfare for her. But there are thousands
or even hundred thousands of this oldies needing government
support.
How many lucky one can get their plight broadcast?
who said so, there are homes welfare, and the monk welfare and also
peanut welfare to take care of them, just that this old peoples dun
want to go or simply not qualified to go.
Most of our oldies have childrens, some even have 10 childrens,
but either they are stubborn or that the childrens dun want them
does not mean that homes dun take them in, the rules of homes is
for those completely childless and home. I believe most oldies
faces unfaithful childrens who neglected them, that is why the
parliament is coming out with a set of laws to govern this
problems. Young people today like me do not embrace confucianism
laws of family, especially on the care and repay of elders and
ancestors. Another set of problem are oldies refusing to listen to
childrens or that they mistreated their childrens during their
young times and causes their childrens to do the same back to
them..like karma. So there are all kinds of factor leading to her
poor life, of course we can pity her, but before all, we need to
understand her surrounding situation ya.
