Does he even know that if the citizens went ahead with this policy, we are just kicking the can further down the road for our children? <br /><br />So between the then-PM & now-PM, was it sensitivity or was it cowardice that they had not tackled the aging issue earlier? We are talking about 2.5 decades of time lost. Leading us to why it is now labeled a Silver Tsunami because we are 17 years away? Whatever happens to the Govt who is not afraid of tough policy? It's become clear where the mismanagement and execution of both our Birth and Aging policies have been, and now we can add Population too. <br /><br />Time matters. We have waited too long and get caught in the low-fertility trap, with high aging and we want to solve it with massive importation. The people have misplaced their trust in PAP and you have very little credibility left. You have just lost 6 votes from our family.
