How is the ageing going to cope in Singapore?
We are seeing a generation of elderly poor who have difficulty coping in Singaoore and policy makers have to address the challenges:
1. Make medical free for the elderly as many an no longer afford or cope the high cost of medical.
2. Provide care for the elderly who need help. Many cannot afford care in nursing homes and their children are too poor to even support their own family hence are unable to support ageing parents. Financial assistance is needed for such families and govt has to provide care for elderly.
Such families can no longer cope as cost of living has escalated.
OYK should join SGX ..market confirm rocket !! Same same like dengue n covid
