This idea is really good and aplaudable but we heard this before and nothing happned so far.
If this is an election gimmick no one is going to trust the govt anymore as frustration is mounting.

Yes..very good idea. It is a government duty. Learn from outside world... government task is looking after children and adult.

Looks like the EPF is empty now. Just wondering whether the government will act only for another 10 months
