“If we search our hearts and conscience, we will know that this is not a rash government,” he said. “It is a government that is honest with the people. For decades, the same government shared the country’s problems openly with the people. This way, it hopes to rally the people to find solutions to the difficulties we faced together.” (Ah, but Mr Wong, who created these problems in the first place?)
Wong praised the government for “(taking) the bull by the horns” instead of taking the easy way out of not raising the issue till after the coming general election, or even the one after that. (Mr Wong, why then was the BE not held AFTER the release of the White Paper?)
“But no matter what measures are taken, the number of Singaporeans above 65 years old will increase,” said Wong. (Mr Wong, you are so intuitive, and as smart with your remark about Mas Salamat! You said, 'If Mas Salamat is not in Singapore, it means that he has escaped from the country'. And oh, apart from those 65 years old and above, will the number of Singaporeans of other ages increase too? Your input will be useful for everyone).
