PM Lee looks to Australia to make 70 the Retirement Age

[Force 136]

PM Lee on extending the retirement age:

Australia has made the age 70, and they are taking many years to phase this in, it won't happen till 2030. I think Singapore can take a similar approach. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/liveblog-ask-pm-lee-2014/1346594.html

Ex-Singkie Richard Teo says :

Do not compare. Singapore cannot compare to Australia because in Australia the government look after the elderly. Of course there are people who are not satisfied but at least there is an attempt made. I know this for a fact. I am Australian and I am part of the scheme. Can survive, better than nothing. http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/09/05/mr-lee-dont-compare-spore-with-australia/

For such thing pap looks to Australia.
is pap going to give $1600 a month to sinkies at retirement age like Australia?
By 2030, pension will increase to over 2k a month.
What is the relevance of retirement age in sg? To trap cpf further?

I'm talking about most elderly who qualify for pension and can be millionaires depending on the house asset they sit on and at least 100k cash they can hold on to.

Not those losers whose whole families laze about and live on welfare.

can you imagine the time need not work can be well-spent on doing your own stuff which could spring you off to be a billionaire.

There's a difference between pure lazy bums and those working (could be temporarily out of paid employment) to get somewhere. The welfare group that u talked about are mostly the bums. If u have that type of exploitative mentality, please stay in sinkieland. Even a Vietnamese wife will look down on you one day.

Oooh, that's bad! That's socialism!

We should spend more money on buying military toys and giving perks to (often dubious) foreign companies to set up shop here.

 

[krafty]

if you are divorced, even more...

Don't forget to pay the civil servants $$$$$$$... otherwise they may turn to corruption.

When jobs are so scarce amongst unemployed PMEs what purpose does it serve to talk about retirement at 70??

Bluffer and liar who ignores the groundswell........ vote him out for coninuous floodling of FTs to rob sgian jobs!!
