Some consideration for senior citizens


BEFORE the first movement control order was implemented to control the outbreak of Covid-19, senior citizens were given some privileges at offices and banks. I would like to think that this was a gesture to honour the senior citizens’ contributions to the country and that these places also realised that many among the elderly population are not computer savvy.

Sad to say, there hasn’t been much of this going on recently, as I found out when I went to a bank to get my passbook updated.
