"A few weeks ago Aljunied GRC celebrated Deepavali with its residents. It was a colourful and lively event with great food and merry-making! Some of the highlights of the night included an elegant Peacock dance, and the traditional Bharathanatayam, performed by dancers who truly embodied the spirit of multiculturalism and a love for art. Other crowd favourites included performances by our very own versions of Michael Jackson and MG Ramachandran (MGR) who got the audience whistling and clapping with enthusiasm. The show-stopper of night was definitely the lively Bhangra performance that got both the MPs and residents up on their feet and dancing to the beat! It was certainly a night of song, dance and culture, and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Special thanks to all our wonderful performers and volunteers who made the event possible!"

The challenges faced by older Singaporeans in looking for work or at the workplace feature prominently in my discussions with constituents. To help us all to think through the issues, we have asked for more data in the following questions accepted in early January for a parliamentary sitting after January 14.

*To ask the Acting Minister for Manpower, in view of the perception amongst some older workers in Singapore that they face discrimination from employers due to their age, what is the Ministry doing in order to determine and quantify the nature of the problem, specifically in whether and to what extent older workers suffer from discrimination in areas such as hiring, wages and salary and discrimination in the workplace.

*To ask the Acting Minister for Manpower (a) how many employees who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents covered by the Retirement and Re-employment Act reached the age of 62 in 2012, (b) how many were offered re-employment by their employers, (c) what was the average adjustment to their last wages or salary in the re-employment contracts and (d) how many cases of re-employment disputes in 2012 were notified to the Commissioner for Labour.

To ask the Acting Minister for Manpower, in each year from 2008 to 2012, (a) how many incidents were lodged by employees as (i) claims under the Employment Act, (ii) complaints under the Employment Act and (iii) appeals against unfair dismissal; (b) out of the number of incidents for each, how many were lodged by employees aged (i) 40 to 49, (ii) 50 to 59 and (iii) 60 and above and (c) out of the number of incidents for each, how many were lodged by female employees.

To ask the Acting Minister for Manpower, in each year from 2008 to 2012 as applicable, (a) how many requests were lodged by employees for assistance to resolve employment disputes under (a) tripartite mediation for PME's and (b) the MOM's voluntary mediation service; (b) out of the number of incidents for each, how many were lodged by employees aged (i) 40 to 49, (ii) 50 to 59 and (iii) 60 and above and (c) out of the number of incidents for each, how many were lodged by female employees.

*for oral answers
