What makes you think that when you're old, your children will take care of you?

It's so delusional when you make kids for your retirement plan.

So many cases when their adult children working outside malaysia, leaving their parents alone.

So many cases parents live in other state and their kids rarely visit them. Some of them only visit them during festive season only.

Having kids are not guaranteed that your adult kids will visit you every single week

KIDS ARE NOT YOUR FREAKING RETIREMENT PLAN.

Will you ?

I would, for sure in a heartbeat. No doubt.

Modern school can only give the most basic exposure; the real cultivation is at home. We should stop blaming the school for moral etiquette guidance; this stuff should be guided by the family. School should focus more on other subjects.

~

This is the extract of the Chapter 1 from Chapter 1 (序致篇) of The Yan Family Instructions (颜氏家训) ~ one of the most extensively written family instruction for Yan's lineage / clan:

Insight from Chapter 1: Cultivating Virtue Through Daily Practice
Core Insight:

Yan Zhitui emphasizes that virtue is not merely theoretical knowledge, but rather a set of behaviors and values cultivated and reinforced through daily practice. He identifies key virtues—such as sincerity, filial piety, humility, respect, frugality, kindness, generosity, and harmony—that must become habitual and natural, woven seamlessly into one's everyday actions and interactions.

Why it Matters:
Virtue becomes authentic only when it is consistently lived out. By intentionally embedding virtues into daily life, these values move from abstract ideals to concrete realities, shaping character, guiding decisions, and stabilizing family relationships.

Modern Application:
Today, people often struggle with aligning their daily actions with their stated values. Yan’s instruction reminds us to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Regular self-reflection, practical rituals (such as family meetings or deliberate acts of kindness), and clear teaching by example can transform family dynamics and positively shape future generations.

Not surprised, the same type that worship money, if can’t bring anything on the table and continue to waste money in terms of taking care of them, better dispose even own mother.

Can save money maaa

Unless father mother got money and properties then it’s a different story.

This case not survived by kids, single to date

If most siblings are dead and never keep in touch with extended family over the years this will be a reality for most single folks out there

while i emphatic to her story, it is still one sided and there maybe aspects not shared.

In any case, abandon in hospital is not the correct way to do it.

Thats why la. If u are single no kids. Be nice to your niece/nephew.

Buy gaming rig 15k as graduation gift. They will remember u their whole life.

Use brain a bit. In family also must do PR.

To be perfectly honest. Not easy to end up old sick and alone. U must have done a lot of fuck up to reach that level.

This. My late aunt, when she was sick, every fortnight also I went to visit her for almost a year.

She was my “mum” in KL since my parents were in Kelate. Register in Lembah Beringin also she and her husband send me. Every semester holiday also they pick me up and send me back. Even job interview also my uncle drove me to the location (if not accessible by LRT).

My other aunties & uncles. Sick also I don’t give a damn. Die only I go pay respect. That’s about it.

I talked about this with a few single friends of mine, and they told me that since there will be a lot of single old folks in the future, old folks institutions will be a lot common, and they can also look after one another.

Maybe especially Chinese, if you have nice 2 storey corner lot landed house under your name, likely someone will come forward to visit or take care.

Just remember one thing, never ever transfer ownership to your children as long as you're still in this world.
One of my parents' friend transfered his house to his son who has always appeared to be a good and filial son. Soon after the transfer, his son changed his attitude and stopped visiting his father.

Nowadays, hard enough to even rely on your own children to take care of you, and you're talking about nephews and niece?
Heck, I don't even know how my son will treat me when I'm old, that's why I always tell my wife no need to invest so much on him, we should accumulate our savings instead.

Then don't.

No one is forcing you to.

In Asia, socially we are obligated to care for our own parents and family, unless they are abusive towards us.

If you don't care for this kind of obligation, then just ignore it.

There is no law compelling you to care for your elderly parents other than societal norms. They can shame you for it, and if you don't care, it won't affect you other than people might start seeing you differently.

Any law that can protect me from getting emotionally abused?
