The article is about Singapore:: Publice service agencies will offer re-employerments to workers who have reached retirement age from july 2011. Ms Bernadette Sim, Director of Careers and Attraction explained the reason for introducing re-employment, she mentioned in the article "Officers will be able to remain economically productive and be meaningfully engaged in their golden years while the Public Service continue to benefit from the wealth of institutional knowledge and experience that these older officers bring with them". However, to qualify for the re-employment, officers must demonstrate satisfactory work performance in the three years prior to retirement and be medically fit to continue working. They must also not have deciplinary action taken aganist them.
I personally feel that the governemnet has come up a great idea of entending the retirement age beacause as we all know that the cost of living is riasing rapidly and being unemployed at this point of time is certainly scary. Through this, it will not just keep the older officers busy working, but it will also give them a sense of satisfaction that being at the age of 62 they are still earning and supporting for themselves and not depending on their children or any other. 0 Comments
