"TAXI drivers could continue driving until the age of 75 if presidential candidate Tony Tan wins the upcoming Presidential Election.
The age limit, which was raised from 70 in 2006, currently stands at 73.
The issue of raising the age limit was brought up during an hour-long closed-door dialogue between Dr Tan and 25 leaders from the National Taxi Association (NTA).
"I thought that was a very good suggestion, because the Government is encouraging people to work for as long as possible," Dr Tan, 71, told reporters after the session.
He said that he intends to raise the issue with the Government if he is elected."
NTA, knn, dunno can live until 70yo or not, what a trade off, another 2 years extra, NTA endorsed him.
True, endorsement is the organisation, not the individual. Election is private and confidential
Cabbies work till age 75? Why not, says Tony Tan

CNG rebate this year finish liao. If no rebate I throw key liao. BTW I think he trying to win vote from TD because TD usually dun vote for PAP or related candidates. I also feel should not have age limit for TD. Not because I want to drive until that old. But at least can have a cab as my personal transport. I know a few retiree take TD as their personal transport. Just drive few hours cover rental then go kopi with kakis. No need spend money on car, road tax, insurance, servicing etc. LOL
Another Cheapo Singaporean who running Presidential election trying to win the votes of all taxi drivers? Since when he got connection with taxi association? Count me out pls.

tony tan must think old 100 yr old man must have so much strength to even get up n walk to car.he be lucky if old men dun end up gettin heart attack after waking up from bed.

Voting for tony tan is as good as voting for PAP. both sing the same tune, what the fuck is going to happen if TT gets elected? nothing!
work till 75? and NTA endorse him?? No thank u.
Tan Jee Say for me.
All these daily and bullshit crap endorsements for TT just really gets on me nerves. Its a good thing my household dun subscribe to the straits times.
Sian la ST!
But knowing Kiasu kiasi singaporeans who will win? no prize for guessing who la.
Thats why singaporeans deserve to be forever stepped upon.
Hi,
I am a relief. I only drive 6 - 12pm. Drive to 75 years old? I run my own taxi business. Don't need him to say. I can work to any age I like. Retire today also can! I have to pay for it one you know. You think I drive free of charge ah? TT pay me salary to drive ah?
