Do allow me to offer a non-political insight to this issue.
Is it much more economically wise to use state land, earn
millions from it and then lease cheap land from neighbouring
countries to house our aged citizens whom had slogged hard for us
all?
The aged had suffered enough, and must not be used as political
pawns for governance domination. To insist that they remain in
Spore would be to cramp them into tiny boxes in the sky and face
the fast paced of life here. No politics please, no matter how well
meaning.
They deserve to retire in more comfortable surroundings -
waterfalls, mountains, large open spaces and reflect back on their
hard work they had done for us all. All these, Singapore of limited
land, does not have.
And it costs us little if we manage our resources carefully,
plan for their security as well as for relatives travelling
there.
I apologise sincerly first if i had offended anyone. This
post is not politically motivated, but only out of concern for our
treasured old folks whom may lacked the voice to speak out and had
only given their best to us.
