The main objective of the Prime Minister is that none of our people should be left behind. That’s why he launched the pension scheme. When a man is 60 years old, he can’t walk, loses performance. Then he should not have to wait for others. The government has launched a universal pension scheme to establish a sustainable social security system for senior citizens. Let us join the public pension scheme ourselves and encourage others to join.
