Living in Another Country

The extensive coverage of temperature rise in Singapore makes me think about living in another country again.  It is so expensive here and Grandma has to be exported to Johore in today's news.  So I will have to seriously consider another countryto retire and I am sure the Govt will be happy to have one less "senior" in Singapore.  We have such a pragmatic government where you work till you die and struggles during your twilight years.  In Western countries including Australia, living comfortably and with dignity in retirement is a citizen's right.  The policy in Singapore is Confucius-ism i.e. it is family duty to look after the aged.
