This month Singapore passed a bill that would give legal teeth to the
moral obligation to support one’s parents. Called as the Maintenance of Par- (1)______

That does not mean it hasn’t generated discussion. Several members of the
Parliament opposed the measure as un-Asian. Others acknowledged the (2) ______
problem of the elderly poor believed it a disproportionate response.
More others believed it would subvert relations within the family: cyn- (3)______
ics dubbed it the "Sue Your Son" law.
Those who say that the bill does not improve filial responsibility, of (4)______
course, are right. It has nothing to do with filial responsibility. It kicks in
what filial responsibility fails. The law cannot legislate filial responsibility (5)______
any less than it can legislate love. All the law can do is to provide a safety (6)______
net where this morality proves insufficiently. Singapore needs this bill not to (7)______
replace morality, but providing incentives to shore it up. (8)______
Traditionally, a person’s insurance for poverty in his old age was his (9)______
family. The problem in Singapore is that the moral obligation to look after
one’s parents is unenforceable. A father can be compelled by law to main
tain his children. A husband can be forced to support his wife. But, until
now, a son or daughter has no legal obligation to support his or her parents. (10)______ [br] (1)

as — /
