I refer to the comment made by Reform Party Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam. He said: "Why the sudden interest from the PAP in special needs children? LKY believes in eugenics and PAP philosophy is not to provide any help leading directly to sad cases like Rebecca Loh. But if there is a chance to make use of them to discredit the CPF protests they will. Sadly HHH and Roy appear to have walked into a trap."
I have to agree about this, because i work with special needs children as a social worker and the government only knew how to take away support and money from the day activity centres knowing how poor many families who send the children to the centres are.
The families who sent the children can't cope with the children for the whole day as taking care of special needs children are tough work, and many need the money to take care of them, hence, the need to have someone who is specialized to take good care of them, but what happened was that the government was taking away more financial support from the centres and wanted the centres to somehow either get more money from fundraising, or increase the centres' fees which means the parents, even poor ones, have to pay more.
So, i definitely have to agree with what Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam said.
