It was very sad to read in the newspapers today about an elderly Singaporean couple who got thrown out of their home after they gave it to their son as a wedding present. They now live under the staircase of a school!

The couple thought that they could live in the house with their son. He, however, decided to sell the property for RM960,000 to buy another condominium. Lim and his wife were then sent off to live with the daughter.

After a year, the daughter decided that they were no longer welcome and banned them from touching her children.

The couple could not enter the house after their daughter changed the locks to the house. (link)

Is this really what life in developed countries have become? It is a sad day when the money you can obtain from a sale of your property becomes more important than your own parents who gave you that home.
