Because I think, as Minister said, many elderly do not
know how to write or go online. So if we can reach out
to them through this committee, because in my work I
do frequently come into contact with the elderly
I believe we will be able to hear their views and what
they have to say. As Minister said, we can communicate
with them in dialects and Chinese. Maybe there would be
a better platform, or means of communication, so that we
will understand their needs. Especially for some elderly
people, sometimes they have a lot of complaints and problems
they could not solve. So for some retired elderly, maybe we
can also use this channel to encourage them to participate in
community activities. Because many retirees have a lot of time
on their hands, and they feel bored. So maybe we can listen to
what kind of help they need. We were just saying that some people
would feel that having a vegetable or herb garden in our HDB estates
would allow them to make a bit of pocket money, or make their life
more fulfilling so that they can live better and expand their social circle.
