Do you agree average life expectancy of elderly is now 82?

Below is from the article "Withdrawal age of CPF Minimum Sum may be raised to 65"
"Singapore may follow-suit, with its CPF system. That is because the average life expectancy of the elderly is now 82. So Singaporeans need to think about how to stretch their savings. Singapore may follow-suit, with its CPF system. That is because the average life expectancy of the elderly is now 82. So Singaporeans need to think about how to stretch their savings".
People, do you agree with the above statement? Propaganda!!!! Guess this statement is made just because now they are looking into raising age to 65 for the CPF withdrawal. How reliable is this, where do they get this figure, I wonder!!! Hey, they think majority or everyone here is like MM who lives up to past 80 year of age. Please use their brains, we don't have any choice to decide what age we want to live up to. -
it may drop drastically when a lot of them decide suicide is the only form of escape they have

experience tells us that whatever the govt choose to tell us without any basis on reality, will be taken as the absolute truth and policies will be implemented based on that. -

ha ha ha!!! yeah, may be the ruling party is thinking majority of Singaproeans are like MM who can live up to past 80 years of age. Even if MM were to live up to 100 or 150, he has no problems coping with the constant rise of standard of living here.Originally posted by the Bear:that's true.. coz people like lau lee and company are inhuman
Just crap from them!!! -
Not true.
I thought more & more people getting cancer & heart attack at early age? -
Can someone go check and see what the figures are like for locals who have the following
>> Diabetes
>> High Blood Pressure
>> Heart Conditions
>> High Cholestrol
Take into consideration the mortality rates of the listed ailments and make a guess how long, an average income earner with ANY of the above ailment can AFFORD to live... -
Ya the rich can afford ginseng, lingzhi, birds nest & the best medical care. They are afraid to die.Originally posted by GHoST_18:only for the selected few who can afford proper medical care live for long...

The rest have to slog long hours, stress from work- no wonder there are so many cases of young men dying in their sleep. -
Can! Humans can live till 150 years old if the conditions are right, although this sounded ridiculous.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I seriously don't believe humans can live for so long.
But due to Global Warming and the rising Pollutions, the life expectancy is likely to lower abit. -
i think when i'm a senior citizen and i still have to slog long hours, stress from work and all that, i'd rather die..Originally posted by gerrykoh:Ya the rich can afford ginseng, lingzhi, birds nest & the best medical care. They are afraid to die.

Yes, theory only. I read of a theory humans can live up to 200 or more years if we live in water instead, like when a foetus is in his/her mother's womb.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:Can! Humans can live till 150 years old if the conditions are right, although this sounded ridiculous.

Once out of it, that 200 or more is drastically reduced.

i think somewhere along the line, some figures were pulled out of someone's ass as a rationale behind attempting to increase retirement age past 70Originally posted by maurizio13:
