PAP would rather spend $11B (30%) out of total of $36.5B (according to the main estimates of the Ministries in budget 2010) to buy new military toys and feed our paper generals than to spend on social welfare for our elderlies.
And they keep bluring the word welfare, saying it's a bad word. Sure, we do not advocate welfare for the Abled but certainly, welfare for the Aged ought to be a state responsibility. How can you expect a 75 year old guy with his legs shaking to still go round working, collecting dirty plates in hawker centres? Does PAP want us all to work until we literally all drop dead in our working places?
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
