      It dosen't have to affect you directly but it used to work to our advantage cos then the young like you and me would have more jobs in the future. Sadly, the FT had their own plans.

    • Aging problem is worldwide not only in Singapore.    We will grow old one day, why fret.   It matters how the respective countries govt come out with to help the old age.

      See him on newspapers and TV, I hope i am given power to get rid of him.    This old man is more of a liability to the nation.

      Those are call senior/assisted living communities.

      What's so depressing about it ?

      Very popular with retirees. Singapore should have at least one too.

      Example of such a place.

    • Singapore population age very fast.
      I think it is time to setup a policy to reserve certain jobs to old people, if not the young people will start to wonder if they should stay in Singapore or not, coz they will worry about their future

      PAP said, working can extend your life longer and more healthier, the more relax you are, the faster you go and not healthy at all.

      You cannot say like that.

      It is only what you see.. you got go and ask those elderly workers... " Are you happy ?".

      I think it is time to get rid of PAP regime.

      I don't agree with their fucking propaganda and their fucking policies.

      I don't give a fuck about PAP or Lee Kuan Yew.

      I want state monopoly of mainstream media to end, they got fucking listen to me or not?

      Still the same fucking state propaganda media on the fucking TV, the fucking newspaper, and the fucking radio.
