The cries of the 76 year old aunty did not go unheard. Her sad and pathetic tales, for begging in public, for the return of her life time savings in the CPF is now free chowder for the unscrupulous to ridicule her. This has made Andrew Loh feeling so disgusted that he had to write something about it. And here is what Andrew wrote.
‘Andrew Loh: I never post things from this odious PAP page but this, I find, is well below the belt and is totally irresponsible.
I’ve blanked out the address (road name) of her house which FAP had included at the bottom of the picture.
The old lady is asking for her CPF money back. What does where she lives have anything to do with it?
I hope the PAP will have some decency and condemn this by FAP, and find out how FAP came to know of her address and even a picture of her house.’
Like they said, the fish rots from the head. When the head is rotting, the body will follow suit. The plight of this senior citizen is not political. The issue of the people’s money locked up in the CPF is not political. It is about the people wanting their money back. It is about the rights to one’s own property, in this case money.
Politicians may want to treat this as a political football. But people, ordinary people, must not be embroiled in this issue to bash the hapless elderly lady when all she was asking is for the return of her money that rightfully belongs to her. Have some decency, have a little sense of right and wrong.
Don’t be an asshole! This is a very bad reflection of the kind of people backing them. People who condone such despicable acts are no better than them. Don’t ridicule an old lady for the sake of scoring political points. She has the right to demand for the return of her money. It is her money!
