Watwheels Supersonic November 23, 2012 Share November 23, 2012 (edited) It's just a matter of time. Their policy lagi boh chap. Imagine the elderly couple retire and enjoy the rest of their days and this happen. Where are they going to find the money to top up the relocation and housing money? I think banks will reject their application for loan due to age. Where are they going to find ppl to hire them to work? They are victims of China's fast growing urbanisation. At least here ppl can seek MP for help. Where do this couple seek help from? This is what I will name this road.... 绝路.
