This article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific issue goes. But there is actually one particular position I am not really too comfy with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual core theme of the point, permit me see exactly what all the rest of the visitors have to point out.Very well done.

After that, you are thrusted into adulthood of career,marriage and kids with a short period of 10 years and before you know it, you are into your old age. How long is your old or "older" age? At the age you really start to degenerate physically which is in your thirties. When someone is in their 40s, we call them uncles and aunties - that's kind of old already. From 40 to 80s is 5 times longer than being a teenager. Therefore putting things in perspective, you will be "old" much much longer than being young in life. We need to plan around our older folks more. You have seven years of teenage life.

Malaysia is not a particularly rich country and yet they offer sibsidised medine for the over 65s. Singapore is rich enough to offer some assistence for the homeless without breaking the bank. After all, the state owned all the housing stock on the island including the land. Sadly its boiled down to government policy whether they wished to have a compassional and caring society or one that prastices the philiosopy of " winner take all".The ruling regime is so confidence that Sinkaporean will take anything thrown at them and will duly elect them back to power. It is time NOW to show them that Singaporean do care about their aged citizen. A little compassion will not bankrupt Singapore nor make Sinkaporean lazy and create a dependence culture. One had to ask one simple question - why is minister receive million dollar salary? while the poor and homeless receive nothing? Is that a society we want?

The government can be an enabler as well as a restrickor. But it comes down to how well we use our time towards our goals. I wonder if our parent's goals were the same as ours are now? I don't think so. Can we show appreciation for what they had to go through. Can our individual goals also support them in some way? Yes I think so. Looking forward to visiting again. jack Great comment, and thanks for reminding be about the law of cause and effect. The government can be an enabler as well as a restrickor.

I do agree with you that choices made earlier in one's life manifest into results in the latter part of one's life. Law of Cause and Effect. Poverty is a world wide issue and there is no straight right or wrong answer... or straight solution to the problem. Perhaps because we are both still young, we can't truly empathize with the elderly who live to perhaps regret the choices they made earlier in their lives. We have the saying that "can't teach an old dog new tricks" and even the movie "The Matrix" mentioned that they do not pull out the elderly from "the illusion" because it is tough for them to "handle" the reality. Coming back to the point of discussion, it is tough for the aged to "do something" about their situation and therefore I believe the system needs to be set up well to help these people. Albeit through the government, through family or community. I guess what we can do as younger people who are more aware is to become whole, independent and self subsistent to the point that we become empowered to help those in need. Of course a caring, fair and responsible government makes it easier... Still no straight answer... Guess in the end it still comes back to the choices we make and the consequences we have to live with. Cheers. Hi Andrew,

Another place where they might be, is in polyclinics. I was in geylang east polyclinic for an appointment and while waiting, i decided to explore the area. I found a HUGE number of old man and old women locked up behind a gate in the top most floor. Although they were locked-in, there were exercising machines and tables for these people... that was their only other choice. People who are poor, tend to be mentally challenged. I think what the govt has done is to associate mental illness with the mentally challenged to justify the segregation of these people from the rest of society.
