Singapore offers the least to the average senior citizen yet we call ourselves a First World country, says former SPH CEO’s wife
“You, your Ministers, MPs and Government employees (I hesitate to call them Civil Servants) earn decent wages and enjoy certain benefits – some for life. As a citizen I do not begrudge you that, but perhaps you all do not realise or want to see that there is much too be done for those over 60 or even 65 – we number in the hundreds of thousands and are expected to increase in numbers,” she wrote.
Mrs Holloway also voiced her displeasure towards the Government, saying, “Having spent time overseas, I can tell you – from personal experience – that Singapore offers the least to the average senior citizen. And yet we call ourselves a First World country?”
