MORE than eight in 10 public officers who retired on reaching 62 years were offered re-employment last year, said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean in Parliament on Thursday.
Speaking during the debate on the Prime Minister's Office budget, Mr Teo, who is also Defence Minister and Minister in charge of Civil Service, said 85 per cent of the 820 public officers who retired at the age of 62 last year were offered re-employment. Of these, 540 officers, or 77, accepted the offers.
He added that about nine in 10 of the officers re-employed at 62 years or above were re-employed on a full-time basis, with 8 in 10 at the same job level.
Re-employment contracts are generally for one year and renewable up to the age of 65.
Mr Teo said last year, more than 2,500 public officers attended pre-retirement preparatory courses developed by the Civil Service College. Public sector agencies have also put in place various upgrading and re-skilling initiatives to prepare employees to take up jobs other than their current work.

Of course there are some who want but cannot make it or not suitable lah. May be just salivate loh! Those years in which these retired people slot it out for the government and the people are those years in which people like you despised or looked down on the civil service. Now these retired people have become useful again.
