Proposed Pension Increase and Transportation Support for Elderly Citizens

The administration has proposed raising the old-age pension to $60,000 monthly, up from the current $41,000, alongside a $50,000 annual transportation support grant for each pensioner. If implemented, the plan would inject $65 billion annually into senior welfare, offering financial relief, improved mobility, and greater security. The initiative aims to enhance quality of life for the elderly while stimulating economic activity in communities and transport services. It underscores a commitment to inclusivity, dignity, and social protection for older citizens.
