Government can give some money me can ah? Husband work as taxi driver. My daughter and son take care of me. They pay all year (to be taken care of). They come, see and go. 1 week, 2 times. My husband and I happy. Me and me husband, outside going and eat, eat. I very happy. Different different food eat. Different place. Like this, happy. Together 30 years. Cooking for children also, pass time with family. Big home already selling (sold), problem got. I come here want money, my cucu (grandchildren), go to Chinese school, pay for her, and here I pay two thousand, no money. Children all working. Money problem, government give some money very good lah. In India, old women, men, over 60 get pension. Here different.
