    "content": "The other thing is that we can have welfare facilities like the KAFCO. Those retiring army generals and soldiers have their canteens where they can go to relax and make merry. We have those canteens in the army. So we can extent the same to other professions. If the Government can plan the budget surplus which always comes up every year, if possible to have it accumulated to a time when one retires, they can enjoy the benefits. These are the principles of the Motion. We can afford to have those people in a certain area. There are those old people who have been abandoned by those careless sons and daughters, and I think they should be arrested for abandoning a father or mother. That is like abandoning your child in Class One or Two. If you are not taking your child to school today, there is a law and action can be taken against you. The same law can be extended so that if somebody abandons the mother and the father when they are old, he or she should be arrested. This will encourage the siblings to take care of their parents. Otherwise, it is important to imagine of a welfare society. Let us take care of the old and remember that even as young as we are, one day we will be old. I would also imagine that Parliament should come up with a scheme that will take care of us after we leave here because we are not going to be elected all the time. These people have done a lot for the country, that is, people in the Senate and in the National Assembly. So the Government should be able to take care of us at old age. That is why I am supporting this Motion though with amendments that those homes should be regulated because given a chance, they could become a dumping ground for every other person who would like to go to that home. Let us make sure that we interrogate and get to know who is supposed to be there. We should only identify people with problems. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
