'If our children continue to sponge on us when they are employed, where's filial piety?'
MS TAN ENG LIAN: 'I refer to the report, 'Old folks in S'pore an asset to their families' (April 30). How long must a parent provide for an unmarried graduate in his 30s who still lives under the same roof? How does one ask for money when he refuses to give? How does a parent tell him to move out? When I was younger, I helped support my parents, but in my old age, I continue to support my children. If our children continue to sponge on us when they are employed, where's filial piety?'
