If they are serious about it, turn it into LAW! Of course, the only laws are those that seek to silence critics to perpetuate 1 Familee's rule!

TRIPARTITE GUIDELINES ON REEMPLOYMENT OF OLDER EMPLOYEES
<!-- Photo Gallery -->
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>'They will help companies tap on the value and experience of their workers beyond the retirement age. They will also help older workers who are adaptable and skilled to stay employed and continue to make their contributions,' added Mr Heng, who is also a member of the Tripartite Committee on Employability of Older Workers, which is chaired by Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong.
Mr Alexander Melchers, chairman of the Tripartite Implementation Workgroup (TIWG) and Vice-President of Singapore National Employers Federation, also welcomed the guidelines, saying they offer 'flexible solutions to help employers continue to tap on the expertise and experience of older workers, while allowing older workers to continue contributing to the company.'
Earlier on Monday morning, Mr Gan, urging companies to implement rehiring practices sooner rather than later, said: 'With one in five residents aged 65 and older by 2030, companies will have to include more older workers in their company workforce profile. The sooner companies put in place the process and systems for re-employment, the better positioned they will be to meet the challenges ahead.
'This will result in a win-win outcome for businesses and older workers as they prepare for 2012.'
