"We don't want to push the elderly to sell off their family's legacy or people to think that the government won't support the elderly poor," stresses Hsueh, the minister without portfolio. The idea is just to provide a choice for those caught between "wanting to keep their homes and needing cash."
「我們不是要老人變賣祖產，對不起列祖列宗，或者以為政府將來不會照顧弱勢老人，」政務委員薛承泰強調，這只是讓那些卡在「要房子還是要錢」兩難中的老人多一個選擇。
