not sure if LHS generation will vote for LW since no more Lee. newer generation seems to like LW's personality more. He has more democratic, and less authoritarian. This is why he is attractive as a leader.
If the government truly aims to support those in need, it should broaden eligibility, streamline application processes, and implement more nuanced measures that address the diverse challenges faced by Singaporeas, especially the baby boomers group, struggling with raising cost, increased in minimum retirement sum, job competition with EP holders, caregivers to their elderly. Without such reforms, these so called support schemes risk being little more than just symbolic gestures. All these support scheme are just big words from rallies, news but completely lack transparency and clarity in how these support scheme are structured
I must say that, the PAP government has created a system where political office holders are paid handsomely. So it is more like a transactional relationship and the gratefulness diminish proportionally.

@@退休人 Actually this is precisely one of the failure of the government policy. Lawyers are important but do do not advance the society.
