1st post ever to be written Tun Mahathir style
1.The recent newspaper headline have caught my attention and got me thinking.
2.The number of old folks being abandoned by their children is on the rise. A sad news it is but that is the trend.
3.Parents have to bear the burden of raising their children since they are born. A mother can look after 5 children or so.
4.Now all 5 children are grown up, looking after their mother until THAT DAY comes seem to be too much of a burden.
5.Orphans would never do that to their step parents but those born and raised by their biological parents would.
6.Is taking care of an old man that much harder than taking care of a baby? I don't know.
7.In Singapore, those who are caught abandoning their parents can be jailed for up to six months.
8.Our government should learn from our neighbors on this matter.
9.If one could speak out words like 'I got my own life to live now.Goodbye' to their parents, he/she can say it to any body.
10.If you cannot respect the very people who have raised you with love and care,then there is no point respecting the gods you worship. Because you cannot respect any body.
11.I might have missed out of those who had not have a good time with their parents. Child abuse,rape, etc.
12.BUT, how many people in the old folks home actually did that? How many of them actually deserved to be there?
