    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, Sen. Haji has wide experience on administration and matters of security. Hence the move to amend was informed. The limit on age maybe dropped because we have youth who are patriotic enough and want to serve and we have 60 year olds who look like 35 year olds. There are people who do not express their ages in appearance and they are ready to serve. So, we should drop that requirement. The issue of education should be left the way it is because the amendment does not qualify what type of ability to read and write should be considered. The ability to read and write is a relative term and the word education does not mean necessarily you went to school. You may be illiterate but you know how to read a watch or a mobile phone. I do not think it should be removed. This person should be able to make a call which means he can read his telephone set. I do not think part (d) makes a lot of change to warrant being concerned about the ability to read. He has not said that he must be of primary school standard. It just says ability to read and write. The ability to read a telephone or ability to read a watch is also an ability to read. Therefore, I do not think it should be dropped. Let us consider dropping the amendment on the issue of age."
