    "content": "home after retirement, you are simply going home to die. It is so bleak to talk about dying when you retire. I want to think of retirement as a time after you have done your best in life – when you enjoy your last years living a comfortable life, eating better food and having access to medical care. It is necessary for us to consider parliamentarians who served here in the past and who live below the poverty line. I know many of them. I can mention them. What is so pathetic is that they live a pathetic life. When you use the word “pathetic” for a leader who was once a hero, then those of us who are here begin to worry. We have to begin to mirror our lives with the lives of those who were here before us. If they are suffering, how about us as life continues to become more expensive every single day? Even the pension we are so sure of getting may be too little when we eventually retire. I support this Bill. It has come at the right time. It is very humane, sympathetic and caring. Therefore, I salute the Mover of this Bill. I support it very strongly because very soon we shall be there ourselves. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
