AS a 74-year-old senior citizen, I am appalled by the recent discourse on the elderly in conjunction with International Day for Older Persons. The letter “Addressing needs of seniors” (The Star, Oct 2) is an example, notwithstanding the concerns expressed.
Most people aged over 65 do not have the “issues” that are nowadays discussed in seminars, local authority public sessions, think tank papers, political speeches – everywhere really.
