Gosh, there's so much to point out on this subject! Traditionally, Asian families stay close and the elderly are well cared for and included. But things change and modernisation happened! People tend to move towards thinking and reacting to age as being 'uncool'!!! As if everyone doesn't age! Like you pointed out - more needs to be done - even if not because of compassion, then be selfish and think about one day when we are all old... Perhaps, that might work in getting more efforts focused on caring for the elderly!
