Old age is a shipwreck



Some seniors work to pass time.

Many seniors here need to work to survive in this country of ever rising cost of living. More so for those with little savings and no passive income.

Seniors are already facing the challenge to find works paying decent wages as most employers shun employing older workers. The influx of younger and cheaper foreign talents adds to these seniors’ woes. Raising the re-employment, retirement age and CPF contribution for older workers would not address or solve this age-old problem. In fact, many business owners are now worried about higher business costs for employing older workers. The impact would be worst with tougher times ahead for seniors!
