Dear Ms Lee:
1. The distribution of aid seems rather fair to me. You live the
good life, you get less. You live a hard life, you get more.
You may disagree that you are living a good life. Ask yourself,
though: how do you compare to your similarly-earning colleagues who
live in a HDB flat? Should you fall on hard times, your father can
liquidate his landed property, downgrade to a decent HDB flat, and
still pocket a rather substantial profit.
Your similarly-earning colleagues living in a HDB flat do not
have such a luxury.
2. Staying single is your choice, and caring for your parents is
a duty. I applaud your sense of fillial piety.
However, married people must care for their spouses, their
children, their parents, AND their spouses' parents. As you can
see, their responsibility is significantly greater than that of
singles.
As a recently-married man, I can vouch for that fact.
Regards,
Fudgester.
Seriously, Ms Lee is dense.
There is no way any handouts from Govt is going to be fair. All
systems have loopholes. If the Govt can be fair, then the Govt is
able to perform the following:
Measure each person's earning capability, skill acquisiton
ability, sustenance ability, ability to upgrade. Each family total
assets, amount of asset distribution in the family etc etc etc.
Can they? No Government can do that.
落网之鱼.
Too bad she's the minority and too bad she's arguing without
emphasis of her hardship, her obstacles and seemed to be just
another Gov/handout whacker.
You want to bring a big hammer, make sure u got strong arms.
