Wondering is our nation really care about their elder
citizens?
At what age do the nation consider the elderly as senior
citizens?
Everyday one can see many elderly taking public transport,some
going to work,some going about doing daily chores etc..When elderly
people still has to work it means that most likely they need the
money for various reasons.Likely they may not hold good paying jobs
and thus travel on public transport.
On this how many of these elderly are given real concessions to
travel on public tranports?I doubt the concessions are forthcoming
as many related that their travelling on public transport have
restrictions.May I ask the gov why is that so?
Having have to work at a late age is already a bogey and
having to pay normal rate for public transport is a double
whammy.When an elder working person paying normal rate this will
certianly eats into his daily wage thus will have a lower take home
pay.
Public transport operators spent millions on their maintenance
and upgrading of systems no reason for them for not being able to
allocate some funds for giving unrestricted concessionary rides for
our elder citizens to help them cope with their daily lives.
We must bear in mind that our elder citizens contributed alot to
this nation with their blood,sweat and tears so that our present
set of leaders are able to draw exorbitant exorbitant salaries.
Therefore, we must exert pressure our government to get the
public transport operators to immediately accede to this or else
there's no purpose in supporting this government.
