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

When I'm overseas, i envy the aged as the sat by the park to enjoy the day.. in Singapore, "everywhere turn my head, left and right i see people with grey or white hair" working as cleaners in MacDonald's and in coffee shops... I feel very, very depressed.

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.

jojobeach SG

You cannot say like that.

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