Hey, it is not fair just because u are sick then everyone has to
pay for your living expense, right? Remeber the upgrading is
beneicial to u leh. now my auntie has a lift right to her doorstep.
She has a bigger ktichen blah blah also. Furthermore, the MP knows
that 10% is still within the mean of my aunt coz he help her with
the insurance payout that are tens of thousands of dollars. The
original upgrading cost is abt $8K so 10% is abt $800 only. If MP
help u to claim ~$40k (DPS) insurance payout then u only need to
deduct $800 for upgrading, is not unreasonable, right?
Do you know the difference between a "stroke" and "normal sickness"
?
The aunt is not SICK......getting a stroke is not a simple
sickness, it is a permanent disability that most stroke patient
seldom recover and will have almost half of his body
immobilised.
What benefit can a stroke patient get from a bigger kitchen when
immobilised by a stroke ?
If is convenient for the lift to stop at the doorstep,
why was this not provided at the beginning of the HDB
planning ?
If the stroke patient is expected even to pay 10 percent of
the original amount, how will that amount - ($800) - be
replenished when there is no further source of revenue ?
How long do you think that $40K insurance payout will last a
stroke patient - when the healthcare system is supposedly
subsidised but "out-of-pocket" cash payment will still have to be
paid ?
Can the remaining $39,200 insurance payout -
(after deducting the $800) - be sufficient for the stroke
patient to survive ?
Even Minister Khaw Boon Hwan has said that anyone living up to
85 years of age will need a minimum of $80K in the CPF from the
retirement age of 65.
$80K to live on for another 20 years till one is expected
to move on at 85 years old - do you think that the
remaining $39,200 from the insurance payout is sufficient
for the stroke suffering "aunt" to live out her remaining
days ?
