When I get a job, I'll definitely support my parents, that's for
sure. Cause I have no other burdens to worry about. No gf, wife or
anything.
Yes, what you said may be logically and economically correct, but
what happened to old Confucius values of filial piety and all that?
You're saying if a children has problems, then they can "cut away"
the responsibility of supporting the parents, just like cutting
down CPF costs?
True, they do deserve to be take care of. The children shall be the
one taking care, not the govt. Again, this is another instance of
the govt being the people's nanny and deciding things for the
citizens, even though they keep saying that people shall be
independent-thinking which I am propagating.
In my point of view, this is yet another incident of an issue that
is economically, logically and technically correct, but yet it is
devoid of morals and ethics. Being the technocrats that they are,
all they can ever think of are measures that are measured by the
value of the dollar. Whether it's a win-win situation as one might
call it. Though I hate to say it, I do have to admit they're really
doing a pretty good job despite the difficulties but it just ain't
right to me.
As for the accusations, well, we're just hypothesizing the reasons
behind. Although we will never know the reasons behind everything
being "done" for the citizens. There's a great deal of business
done at the back that we do not know of.
Happy holiday to you too.
