Shouldn't they be investigating casinos. Seems that Straits Times reports don't understand words much and just write down everything that the government and their agencies tell them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-13054717926841072092011-06-10T09:35:24.402+08:002011-06-10T09:35:24.402+08:00Mr Wang, Really appreciate your attention to these...Mr Wang, Really appreciate your attention to these issues.

Long term old age care is a big problem and many smaller families may not be able to cope adequately with the demands.

Who will care for them? <br /><br />And recently there was an article about some elderly who died without any next of kin claiming their bodies.<br /><br />And perhaps they might also have led lonely, illness stricken lives before their death.<br /><br />This problem will be more serious when the elderly reach a significant proportion of the population in future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
