PAP force Singaporeans to work till death !!

[sheryllim]

Speaking at Singapore’s first Retirement Conference on Thursday (read report), Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong suggested raising the retirement age from 62 to 65 to keep more elderly workers in the workforce. The aim is to help the elderly work as long as they can.

It is unlikely that Mr Lee’s message is intended for those elderly who are already in the workforce. Is he encouraging those who have already retired or unemployed to find a new job and continue working ?

There are Singaporeans who can afford to retire and there are some who are being supported by their children. For this group of Singaporeans who have contributed to the nation over the years, we should respect their wishes to take on other pursuits in life and truly enjoyed their golden years. Should they choose to return to the workforce, it should be entirely out of their own will to spend their spare time productively at work.

Mr Lee’s rationale that an aging population must necessitate more elderly in the workforce to keep the economy running is rather over-simplified and one-dimensional, negating the important role played by the elderly in both the family and society.

When a regime change is possible, can we make LKY clean MacDonalds tables?

Should let him have a taste of working hard past the retirement age instead of talking cocks and getting paid millions.

It is just a lousy SMOKESCREEN to delay or postpone the withdrawal age for the CPF. It's the Howe Yoon Chong CPF report put into action.

What is the point of officially raising the retirement age? It won't keep old workers employed because the SMART employer would just employ workers on a yearly or even monthly contract basis. There is NOTHING to prevent an employer from NOT renewing the contract or re-hiring old workers.

As there is NO minimum age legislation, it is cheaper to hire low costs foreign workers from 3rd world countries when the labour market becomes tight in an economic boom. In a recession, the oldies would be the first to get their contracts terminated or NOT renewed.

And those oldies will indeed be screwed because the minimum CPF sum would have been raised as well as the withdrawal age. We will just see more tissue sellers and cardboard collectors or MRT roadkills in a 1st world Asian country.

With this sort of news, i dont think there will be GE this year or the next.

another wayang like Chiam anointed Desmond Lim
don't trust wayang party see how they screwed Desmond Lim

It only come to our attention that Mr Chiam See Tong will be retiring by the next general election and his anointed successor to take over him as MP for Potong Pasir and party Secretary-General is Mr Desmond Lim after we visited the Sinagpore People's Party's homepage in preparation for our weekly political blogs' ranking.

As we felt this is an important matter which netizens ought to know, we have taken the liberty to write to Mr Desmond Lim to publish his facebook account and Mr Chiam's testimony of him so that you may get to know him better.

Below is an exchange of emails consisting of our request and his acquiescence:

LHL is asking the oldies and grand grand father to work till death so that CPF can grow for his Jinx wife to gamble.

If people don't work, there will be no CPF for govt to play with. If we work we don't get to see our CPF money too. Thus I rather retire gracefully without having to worry that our govt will constantly use my money to threaten me during election.
