Your Excellency, How is it possible that the People’s Representatives in Parliament can approve mid-term access to Social Security Funds, and then you refuse to sign the same, just like that? It seems life is just a journey of “unfairness.” I compare this to a house help which is made to cook food, serve the masters, and only wait to eat after the masters (and their visitors) have had their fill.
