if they can/want to, a retirement age won't stop them. They can always quit and there's nothing holding them back too.
Seriously the concept of a retirement age (for working) only makes sense if there's a pension. The re-employment thing is nonsense considering that if you base the pay system on performance, they should only get paid what they are worth and employed if they are worth it
He must realise that not everyone is being paid by the millions for doing nearly nothing.
LKY expect that you work til u die. then u can pay CPF. CPF = his sons pocket money,
CPF money is PEANUTS!
LKY himself dont retire due to his Greed of power,thus,he forbid other ppl from retiring.Just from this small detail,u can tell how selfish he is.

Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew says there should be no retirement age for workers in Singapore.
He made the suggestion on Wednesday at a dialogue session in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) attended by over 900 senior managers, government officials and unionists.
NB...... wat?!! want us to work till we die issit???
I think what Papa Smurf meant is that companies should not have the power to fire/sack/terminate employees using the excuse of retirement.
Of course employees have the right to leave the job if they do not wish to work for the company anymore on their own freedom of choice and decision.
Just imagined if you're receiving a generous sum of salary package from the company that you are working for and have been working for a long time ... DO YOU WISH THE COMPANY TO TERMINATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT USING THE EXCUSE OF RETIREMENT??
Please...Singaporeans, please think more positively and exit your shallow-mindset. The Government aren't out to make your life difficult!

i would believe it's otherwise...In order to force us out of SG, and rush in new citizens for political reasons..
What political reason?
Don't talk nonsense and share your own theory of political reasons in here if you truly believe there is one.
Bear in mind that the Government doesn't think like you. But there is always room for misintepretation of Government policies.
Why people cannot understand that there are actually many countries out there who are constantly monitoring Singapore's policies?
Believe it or not, the One big snake that is waiting to swallow Singapore is CHINA!!!

new citzens of any country are usually grateful to the any ruling party that gives them a new lease of life in new country.
Hence in SG , case dun you think those new citizens will definitely vote for PAP out of gratitude?
while ya last paragraph is true, given that they may have spies in SG, but do u think our neighbour countries and unker sam is sitting there and do nothing?

Do you think PAP kidnapped those people from any country and FORCED THEM TO BECOME SINGAPORE CITIZENS?
They did it on their own free will and if they wish to vote for PAP, then it is also out of their own free will.
Why do you not believe that there will be a certain percentage who will vote for those cowardly ungrateful rebels?
I believed those rebels were EDUCATED UNDER PAP EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM and they are ungrateful to bite the hand that fed them.
Do you wish to vote for a group of ungrateful rebels to govern Singapore?
Why do you think these group of ungrateful rebels would even listen to the people who voted for them when they can so easily betray and turn their back and go against on their own government who have provided a stable and encouraging environment for them to be educated, for their parents to be employed and put food on their table and see them through till the end of their education?
And why do you need to make a mountain out of a molehill from these new citizens?
HAHA!
I think MM got a point there. working keeps people sharply as well as increase our lifespan!
however, i believe he is speaking from the perspective of wanting to work even though we can retire.
Zac
U know,we should learn from LKY 's mistakes n retire when the time is ripe.Look at LKY,he has contributed quite alot in his early days,n earn alot of respect from his countrymen n women.
BUT,his fatal decision of staying behind as senior minister n continue to cast influence in the parliament has turn him from a "Hero" to a "Scumbag".Ppl begin to turn from respect him to hated him.What for,right?
Cantonese got a saying,"One should not act like a big fuk n block the world from orbiting."I think this phrase is most suitable to describe LKY presently.

reason no 1: it you adept this mindset, good luck, don't ever post or complain when these new citizens snatch your job when theres little for everyone.
reason no 2: when i was working temp, i came across a china PR, likely a new citizen now, guess what she said? " when i hit 70-80, i go migrate to canada with my kids in chinese. that really was etched in my mind. along with it a burning question :"how did the govt allow this kind of people to get the privilages so easily? work for 5 yrs only somemore.
reason no 3: no retirement age , in short is 2 sides of the coin, you can think of it to prevent company to use it as an excuse from retiring early, however it can also be precived that on a common basis that you and me as singaporean have CPF, it means that we would have a longer and harder time to touch even half our CPF now.
if you believe that the govt never forced us, well i can say you are WRONG and wake up!, the CPF system itself already shown that it is likewise, in the past, where those people should be 70 to 90 by now, your CPF is how you use it, NOW it is like the remainder goes to insurance and stays stagnent there for an extension of 10 years, given if you are retiring early, you have to wait for a real Looooong time before you can take that money out.
the other disadvantage is for no retirement age is that as spoken , the young cannot progress when the old is unwilling to leave, in times where changes is frequent or needed, it would result in a clogging . when that happens, pay becomes in a way stagnet by positions and less people would want to raise families as job stability becomes an issue. the portion to make this chronic and worst is pumping in FT for replacements.
i rest my case period.
parn was fortunate enough not to work even a single day in SG, that's y she said what she said.
Really no working at exprience at all, coming down to sgf to treat us averge joes with comptempt.

Who told you I have never worked before in SG?
Is this also another one of your "I still kept your PM as evidence" blackmail? Or Is this another one of your "I think I'm close enough with parn to use her information against her"?
Whatever it is, I'm not stupid to tell you where I worked before. Especially when I know the kind of person you are before you even PMed me.

1. The only reason that you have this fear of losing out to new citizens is because you and I and everyone else KNOW THIS TRUTH that Singaporeans are simply not united together as compared to citizens in other countries. Be it the excuse of Singaporeans do not have an identity and we're not loyal to the country and dislikes the government for no valid reason, with exception that we expects the government and the country to pamper us like Kings and Queens. And this is the childish attitude and behaviour that most if not all Singaporeans is adopting as their mindset at the present.
If Singaporeans were united with one another and take cares of one another as fellow citizens, do you think there is really any room for new citizens to contest any jobs with Singapore-born Singaporeans? Your Singaporean boss and superiors don't even want to take care of their fellow Singaporeans like yourself, and you DARE to come and tell bullshits in here and complained that new citizens are going to take away your jobs because of government policies???
How low and silly do you wish to sink further? Please wake up, because soon you are going to run out of people to BLAME! The root of the problem lies within yourself and the impoverished mindset of your own fellow Singaporeans!!!
Stop blaming the government because you are stupid ok?
2. So new citizens are not allowed to have dreams of their own? They need YOU to approve of their dreams? Who do you think you are to judge them anyway? Everybody also have their own dreams for their future, be it practical or not, it's just plain rude and insensible of you to judge people based on their dreams. How would you feel if I were to judge and ridicule your dreams? Why did people like you even exists in Singapore and I know ridiculous people like yourself are superbly common nowadays, but that doesn't means many wrong people like yourself are makes up for one right. You would rather they go to Canada than stay in Singapore if you really know the situation in Canada. Did you think that Canada is better than Singapore? If you did, then you are wrong and you should go to Canada and find out for yourself or talk to any Canadians.
3. Did the Government of LKY mentioned anything about not able to retrieve your precious CPF when he mentioned about not having retirement? Please open up your mind and read properly. Don't you know that you can continue to work and still continue to withdraw money out of your CPF when you have reached the age to withdraw money from your CPF?
The young cannot progress if the old doesn't move on?? I really don't know what kind of stupid world you have been exposed to. The young will still have jobs even if the old remains in the workforce. This means that the younger workers in the workforce will be able to learn and gain better skills in the workforce under the apprenticeship of the older workers. Then again, this brings up one of your common dilemma isn't it? Did you think that the older Singaporean workers will be unwilling to show the younger workers the ropes? Just how many older workers have you worked with and how many older workers have you actually spoken with and formed a genuine bond at your workplace? Do all the above first before you come and tell me you are qualified to comment about it. The simple fact is that younger workers are so full of bullshit dreams that they are the ones who are full of contempt for the older workers, thinking that they are outdated. If you are a young worker, and you have a good attitude towards your older and more experienced workers at work, you will do better and learn more than any of your high and mighty peers. It's all about the ATTITUDE of the younger workers!
Rest your case ah? Then make sure you really rest your case ok? That doesn't means that it is useless for me to reply back and it doesn't stop me for replying back, unlike your other fellow shallow peers.
But will my reply caused you to Unrest your case? That would be interesting to find out wouldn't it?

My dealings with u here in sgf is purely seeking romance, and yes, despite ya harsh
words last night. i not gonna give up.
You haven't know me well enough to judge me soon..
If you say i dun understand you enough, similarly i can also say u dun understand meenough.
You always sterotype all sg guys as animals who just wanna have sex only. Is it fair to us?
What you think of me as "helping buddies" out kinda thing. I was targeting at your sterotype of SG guys, i have nothing against our fellow country women folk, and women folk in general. i dun like it when u always keep on blabbering that SG guys are sex only animals.
Not that i am defending my own gender, but what i ask from you is to be fair to all.
Nothing is 100%
Nothing is perfect
Do you like it when sg guys sterotype u women folks as SPG?
it's the same thing when you label ALL SG guys as sex hungry monsters.
Not that i am a MCP calling for abolishment of women charter, what i wanted is for both sexes to be treated equally by the opposite sex?
Am i wrong in asking for that?
Am i wrong asking for equality, since this country emphasizes on equality?
People should work regardless of their family background, and I'm poor because I'm not working and my family background is also not rich.
Only you will know what you can gain from blackmailing, pretending or denying is the same as lying to yourself and I don't really care if you do so.
The fact is there are many Singaporean guys out there that will pretend to be ignorance and deny all accusations in order to put themselves in a good light. So if everybody want to be good people, then where are all the bad people? If that is so, then I do not wish to hear any complaints or stories about bad Singaporeans. And I won't wait for "good" people to get caught before I judge them as bad people, I do not judge people using my eyes and ears without using my heart and mind.
Ya..I shouldn't have exposed all your intentions. You guys are all holy beings and your cocks are just accessories and for show only because none of you are sexually deprived creatures. In this sense, the forumer I-love-flings (I think that's what he's called) is a more honest person and better person than many self-conscious act holy and superior guys in here.
You sure you have no problem with your fellow Singaporean girls in here? Not displaying it doesn't means you don't have a problem with us ok? People will never overcome and improve if all they are concerned about is how other people are going to judge them and unsure if other people are going to accept them for who they are. I'm fine with how you want to live your life because I don't need to care about people who are only concern and busy with their own self-preservation behaviour.
How is it equal or impartial when you are your buddies defender? Looking at your replies, how often do you really bothered to make any comment when girls in sgforums are having difficult times? In Aunt Agony, I don't see the frequency balance in your posts other than blindly following-up and pursuing most of my posts which are very irritating for me to reply and response.
People grow and learn from experiences and their mindsets evolved based on the people they have associated with and the different cultures they were exposed to.
In this sense, Singaporean guys have absolutely zero to little exposure to non-Singaporeans. So how do you want me to think better of them when this is how they are and have became? I don't need to babysit and specially accomodate anyone of them because I don't like their attitudes and their shallow mindsets and their greed and their expectations and their arrogances and their immaturities and many many more irritating characteristics.
They should learn from people in other countries and change to accept them as much as they can before they ended up killing themselves and their own kind with their own foolish mindsets.
And it really doesn't matters who is the government of Singapore if the government are being supported by foolish citizens.
