to ask a granny to work at age 92 is as good as abuse.
What about sending them to rot in an old folk's home using LPA? Not abuse?

What do you suggest they do to while away their time? After a while, people will get bored of sleeping and reading the newspaper.
They can exercise by collecting cardboard.![]()
While that is a legitimate way to exercise and work to avoid boredom in old age, it certainly is not the best way. I would prefer them to find higher-paying jobs like security, table cleaning and burger flipping.
The hot jobs in Sinkieland are taxi driver, insuarnce agent, financial advisor, credit card promoter and charity salesperson. One of these would be more suitable for an elderly person, especially the last one. Will get more donations.![]()

Why view insurance agents as a lowly profession like driving taxis? I have many friends who are doing very well in insurance, earning over $150k a year. Many PMETs don't earn half that amount.
old pple are very fragile, one slight fall will break their bones. my great grandma fell in toilet and passed away, she was also in her nineties then.
Unlike the west where weather is cool. Older people can indulge in various outdoor activities in their retirement. In our climate, can only stay indoors and watch tv,
The 16K is not a salary it is an allowance that is used to fund the activities required to run the ward.
How much of that allowance does a PAP MP use for his constituency?
Other than the mandatory contribution to political party's funds, the MP can spend that money as he wishes. I don't see anyone demanding that NSmen spend a portion of their NS allowance on military-related gear.
Huh! retirement age gonna raise again?
