Dying

Dying is a slow and difficult process for most living creatures - for humans, animals, birds and insects.

I have seen a bird dying of old age, a cricket dying slowly and being attacked by ants before it took its last breath. I have held my 18 year old cat Angel dying in my arms. I have seen humans conditioning its mind to reject the intake of food and expiring after days. I have seen my eldest brother breathe his last with a smile on his lips. He knew he had lived a good and responsible life and his siblings loved him.

I have very old friends who are over 95 wishing to die. One keeps reminding me that only the good dies young. This is partially true I think. Another said she too wants to die but cannot. "Not time yet!" she said. She had a number of serious falls, fracturing limbs and hip but refused to see a doctor. A widow of a doctor, she knows there is no cure for fractures. As for a bloody face, she self medicates using disinfectants like dettol.

My friend who is slightly younger than me wishes to die. He eats one meal of bread a day and is now skin and bone. I told him that that is not the way to go but he disagrees. I said sooner or later hospital bills will kill him and death will be slow and painful with needles poking into limbs. He does not listen.

I have another friend who suffered cancer for many years. He cheated death once and said that was enough. He had it all planned and flew to Switzerland to die because he cannot afford the medical bills. He is the second friend who opted for euthanesia.

Life is what we make of it. I tell my friend who is starving to death that most people in the pioneer generation have lived long enough and are ready to go. It is how we go that is the problem.

My neigbour jokingly asks me how if I die alone in my flat and no one knows. As another old neighbour advised me a long time ago I replied: "Who cares! Not my problem anymore!" Yes, I told my neighbour to call the police when there is a foul smell!

Old age is the last part of our journey of experiences that most of us must take alone. No matter how active we are when young and no matter what we achieved or failed to achieve, we have to leave this world. Unlike what our government thinks everyone wants to be independent and self reliant. We don't want handouts. We want dignity. The government should abandon its ideology that we only want to get free things, free medical care, free this and that. All we want is to die with dignity.

    Yes, Ms Teo. You said it yourselves.

    If you live a good and responsible life, no matter how you die, your death is dignified.

    Unlike some old Singaporean chi ko pek who go Philippine marry 16 years old girl.

    When the old chi ko pek finished all their monies enjoying screwing, beer and drugs, they crawl back to Singapore to demand our great PAP for financial assistance.

    These old Singaporean chi ko pek have no dignity at all.

    Death is inevitable.
    The only thing that is certain in life is death.
    But,believer or not,there is proof there is “afterlife”.
    We live life the best we can.
    It is sad many of our trublu nation-builders were left to die in undignified manner.
    We think nothing of raiding $100B to $plash on those earning good salaries,even FTs/PRs but we tell the young we cannot offer decent social assistance to our OWN SENIORS as that would increase their future tax burden,the same young sgs who suck free lollies like Baby Bonuses even for those with big paycheck$???

    We condemn the poor for “being greedy” but we cowpeh about not getting paid enough when we are drawing million-dollared $alaries!
    But leber mine,Heaven can see everything.
    Get ready for Hell for those who do evils.

    This is but a transcient moment even if you have the money to live to 100?

  • Legalise euthanasia!:

    Euthanasia should be legalised in Singapore.

    When external sleep is the only solution for unbearable pain and agony, euthanasia would be the best option for many.

    Euthanasia should be considered as a human right under circumstances when it is the best course of action to relieve pain and suffering.

  • Free medical care:

    The government should provide free medical care to all Singapore as a developed nations. Many western nations have free medical care. But PAP now talk about sustainable healthcare cost. It is unheard of to save money in healthcare(sustainable healthcare). Those are lives we are talking about and the policy is to save money.

    As we know the big influx of foreigners, many immigrants and covid-19 has cause the hospital to need more capacity and more spending to cure Singaporeans. Instead, PAP said more hospitals are not the solution. More hospitals are necessity if anyone has the brain and care for the people. We need to increase the healthcare budget to build more hospital and free medical care to cater for many reasons for ageing population, more people with more foreigners and covid-19. This is a basic need.

    We are already paying many taxes like GST and income tax, we should be entitled to these welfare. 100 billion budget should be spend in the correct place and not in many anyhow places and policies like now. PAP always save on people needs and allow them all the welfare and good things. PM, cabinet ministers and mps have all the good medical care, high million dollar salary and live in bungalow and they want us save and suffer. I mean it is unfair and unequal and not Singaporeans values.

  • Inequality:

    The distributor always distribute the best things for themselves. The businessman boss collect all the money, he distribute the most money for himself and workers as little as possible. The king have all the power and money, official less power and the people very little or almost none. The distributors has all the good things and welfare themselves and continue to save on other people because they are not the one hurt.

    All humans are equal and everything on Earth is given to all of us free. It is some human being who make us unequal. The few seize the rights of other human beings.For example the King with his gangs take over the nation and declare all the land belongs to him alone and kill those who disobey him by using law. It is unequal that all lands belong to the King alone. It is absurd people accept inequality.

    Everything blame PAP government except yourselves. When are you going to take responsibility for your own lives ?

    Go learn about taking responsibility from this sensible 80 years old and I am quoting him.

    @jimmylee1776
    1 year ago
    Hi Rafie, thanks for sharing your story. I’m 80 years old. The lessons I leaned in my life are:
    1. Don’t waste – especially time & money. The time we lost will never come back. We earn good money now so we must save for when we are out of a job or save for our old age & retirement.
    2. Life is full of ups & downs. When we are down, we must get up, brush off the dirt & keep going. Learn why we fell down & not repeat the mistake.
    3 We need to eat to stay alive. We don’t need to eat expensive meals to stay alive. We just need nutritious food. We eat to live but not live to eat.
    4. Live a simple life. Be thankful if we have good health, 3 meals a day & a roof over our head. Enjoy everyday – doing things that make us happy, help the less fortunate people, make positive contributions to society, our communities, humanity etc
    5. Health- this is most important. We must maintain our health & ensure we have good health. We cannot enjoy life if we have poor health. There’s a story about a young man who worked very hard working long hours to accumulate wealth. He became very wealthy. When he was about 60 years old he suffered bad health & spend his wealth to regain his health. The moral of this story is : Health is more important than Wealth. No money can buy back your good health.
    Good luck Rafie, plan your steps to regain your good life. God bless you. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺

    I’m only in my early 20s now and I think it’s so easy to forget yourself when you’re young… You go out, spend money and do stupid things but forget that time lost is something you never get back. I think Rafie’s story is a great reminder to all of us youngins to live a measured life. Life can be as beautiful and adventurous without having to sacrifice on the future. And his spirit should be an inspiration to us all. I wish you all the best Rafie and thank you for letting us be inspired by you and your story!!

    Being able to earn high income is one thing; being able to have the financial knowledge is another thing; and having the financial discipline to not spend the money recklessly is quite another (and the most crucial).

    This story reminds me of when I was working in the finance industry. In the division that I worked in, everyone of us had, at least, a finance or business-related degree and more than half of us had MBA (we knew about finance); everyone of us made, at least, $200,000/year on the low-end (we earned good income); but unfortunately, quite a few of us were still living paycheck-to-paycheck (because some of us did not have the financial discipline to not spend money on “liabilities”).

    As a finance professor now, I try to advise my students about living below their means and invest smartly.. Unfortunately, I think that only 1%-2% of my students follow my advice. Oh! well. I can only advise them; I cannot live their lives for them.

    I can agree that medical costs are irrationally exuberant.
    Many common sgs especially elderly poor are afraid to visit the doctors as they cannot afford any longer having depleted their savings,cash or CPF on expensive medicare.
    Even common physiotherapists are charging $ky-high fees here not to mention doctor$/$urgeon$?!
    And,DO OUR G CARE?
    We know the an$wer!!!

    We can accept that the G took our sgs’ NATIONAL RESERVES to lavi$h on even highly paid FTs(non-sgs,PRs included) BUT we quickly agree with the same gahMEN that we cannot grant more decent level of help to our needy fellow sgs especially the needy seniors?
    And,for seniors who need to DOWNGRADE and buy HDB ,we exclaimed that they are the ones that PUSH UP HDB PRICES?!
    WHO EXACTLY PU$H UP HDB PRICES?
    THE PRs from third-world who now even collect rent or reap HUGE CAPITAL GAIN$ TO BUY CONDOs?
    Which senior sg who needs to DOWNGRADE is so happy and keen to have to pay $1M or more for his/her HDB ?
    THIS IS BECAUSE OD HDB/GOVT POLICIES!

    GO RESTRAIN THE PRs/FTs,why put barriers on own sgs especially seniors who need to downgrade to manage the high COL especially medicals?

    For example,is FT POLICY good?
    Sure,if REAL FOREIGN TALENTS are enrolled here.

  • PAP mandate strong:

    @ There is no point reasoning with someone who cannot tell the difference between price raising and subsidy reduction.

    I agreed. Some people eyes blind or brain block or brain washed.
    The only rational reason about you is probably you earned sgd but you spend in Malaysia after exchange rate. Thats why you dont feel the pinch. 讲风凉话谁不会. Anytime you go to bus terminal the nus canteen and buy Malaysia bus drivers a coffee, they can tell you Malysia stories.

    @ There is also no point reasoning with someone whose vision of national resources is limited to those items. They don’t include all valuable resources and calculate per capita.

    Oil not valuable ? Water not valuable ? Minerals not valuable ? Then what ? You prefer to convert and be a Mr Muhammad is it. Please go ahead then. No one stopping you.

    Malaysia whether increase price or increase tax or reduce subsidies all equates to price raising.

  • Sex is sex:

    Sex with a willing partner is sex. Sex forced on by a rapist is sex. Someone in particular sees no difference. You have sex, either way.
