this is a sad topic, but unfortunately true.
i wonder what happened to their CPF? No CPF in the old days? Spent
all their $$? Cost of living too high? medical expenses?
Illiterate? Plagued by ill health?
yes, we may be educated, but if i lose my eyesight when i get old
(being already 900 degrees per eye), lose my hearing, lose my
health, get cancer etc, who knows, i may have to join that group of
old people.......
i'm sure i can't take that kind of life....so i may decide to join
those who jump onto MRT track.......that's why now at some MRT
stations aboveground, there's a newly-erected sign "Cherish your
life".....
digressing from the topic.....
anyway, perhaps someone suggest to the govt to build old folks'
home at void deck? society can't ignore this problem for long.....
in a decade or 2, there may be a whole group of old people camping
at the void deck.....
let's join them....just to protest at the unfairness of life
....
