Life at 85

The first thing I will do is to go for a complete overhaul. Change whatever parts that need to be changed. Get hair implants, crown a whole new set of teeth if the jaw bones can hold, go for lazik treatment, botok the whole face, pull all the skins or replace with nuskin, and start a swinging 85! Now, won't that be wonderful? A second life, without worries and the longetivity insurance will pay me ever after.

But we must be proactive and prepare to live till 95 or 100. So we must prepare our people now, and keep their money before they squander them away. And with our world class health and medical care system, Singaporeans will outlive all the the people in the world soon. 50% of those who are 62 now will live to 85. That is a Singaporean fact. They are more or less guaranteed to benefit from the annuity scheme.

Stop the kidding

Anyone with a fully paid 3 rm HDB flat and prepared to rent out one room will have more than $300 income to get by. And this is inflation hedged as the rental will only go up with time. Not taking into account any other forms of income or savings. He DOES NOT need the $300 from any annuity scheme. All he needs is don't try to eat sharks fin, go to concert, drive a mercedes, admit himself into A class wards. Just live simply. He will have more than enough. What can a 85 year old do? Run around and feeding himself with viagra?

Actually ah...

Actually ah... Though there were some whinings and kpkb everywhere, the people believe that the govt is a good govt and all the things that are being done is for their own good. Even this annuity scheme and whatever the govt is going to scheme, the people simply love them. The kpkb is just for show, like a girl being ask for a date. Don't want lah, but actually want to accept it like hell. I beg you, the people will vote the PAP to power in the next GE with overwhelming majority. That is for sure.

Please stop nannying us

We do not want to be nannied. Please stop nannying us. And please stop uttering that the people are hopeless and mindless and always ask the govt to nanny them. It is the govt that insisted on nannying the people against their wishes, to be left alone.
