Guest -- Patisoy -- Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 singapore gov again rasie cpf withdrawal age from 62 to 65. taxis driver to continue driving from age 73 to 75. die lar must work till the last breathe.How about those old aunties & uncles cleaning tables in the foodcourts? I bet some of them are beyond 75 already. How come they are still working? Is there CPF not enough?Don't be surprised if next time, the government will increase age requirements from 75 to 80..then 90..then never going to get anything until last breath. The good thing is that your children or granchildren can enjoy the money which you saved over the years out of sweat & blood. The government (not only in SG) has full control on policies..they can change anytime they want to benefit those people in positions while make the ordinary citizens suffer more. That's a fact of life...It would still be better if you have your own savings or investments in preparation for old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinthenight Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I noticed the very mature people working in the fastfood restaurants when I was last in Singapore. It seemed very strange to me. In Australia, it's the young pimple faced teenagers doing that kind of work.(earning pocket money). It got me thinking that maybe Singapore does not have an adequate retirement program for old age pensioners. I was really confused because I always thought Asian countries thought highly of their senior folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are somehow right when you said that Asian countries thought highly of their senior folks. Well, not in Singapore apparently!If you closely observe the laborers or blue collar workers such those working in foodcourts, toilet cleaners, and street sweepers; they are mostly elderly people.They need to work to their butt until their last breath to pay for a freakingly high cost of living in Singapore. The government is not offering adequate subsidy for the less fortunate elderly (compared to Australia or Canada). Singapore is definitely not a country of choice for retirement. No wonder, a lot of younger & abled Singaporeans are migrating to other countries leaving Singapore with an aging population. To alleviate the ramifications of their state policies, the government is left with limited options but to hire foreign workers to keep the country going.
