Retirement Villages

what EXACTLY are "retirement villages"?

the ones in the UK and Australia look lovely..

but why IS the singapore government involved in building retirement villages for Singaporeans??

(flips econs textbook for instances of government intervention in the production or provision of goods & services)

**scratches head**

and in Batam???

to assess how the "typical" Singaporean views this, i asked my mother (who's always quick with a witty remark) what she thought about the matter.

"well, why don't they consider euthanasia? it's an even quicker method."

(without another word turns back to her favourite tv programme)

ha. ok. so we have it.. the typical Asian view.. :)
