A word on caring for the elderly

Over the past week, we went around collecting comments why it is important to care for the elderly, and how we can go about showing our care for them. These responses come from several teenagers.


Imagine if the elderly you speak of was your parents. That means they have almost past their parenthood years in which they have brought you up till you were old enough to take care of yourselves. Therefore, it is important for us to care for the elderly as through their hardship, the age they have come to is the time for them to relax and in turn for us, the youths to take care of them as they are now worn out and can no longer be willing to do anything without assistance.

Be honest, considerate and polite. In other words, apply basic manners and show appreciation in any way I can convey them. Help them in need, be there for them.

They (the elderly) are a valuable asset to society.

I would be filial and helpful to them. Talk to them, play with them and make them feel happy.

The elderly are a valuable asset to Singapore and should be given important care by our younger generations. They are the ones who have taken care of us till our independent life stage. Therefore, we should be willing to take care of the elderly when they are dependent on us. If we don't take care of them, who would?

I would not disrespect them by displaying cruelty to them. Be considerate and show filial piety to them! In fact, spend some time to play with them or talk to them to make them feel elated.

- Mohammed Shareef, 14 years old

The elderly contributed to the country and needs care when they are now older.

I will offer my seat to the elderly in a crowded bus.


Without the elderly's hard work in the past , it's impossible for us to enjoy the wonderful living conditions that we are having now. I can help them on the housework, chat with them to get them out of being bored and spare a thoughts for their feelings.
