Its ok if they were died in the office.
What's the problem with government raising the retirement age to 65 .... 70.
Its not that its mandatory to continue working when you reached 65. You can retire if u want to. By raising the retirement the government is making it possible for u to continue working in your company until 70. The company cannot retire you unless they have good reasons eg. poor work performance.

S'PORE: A survey conducted by Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Centre for Research on Successful Ageing (ROSA) has found that one in seven older adults in Singapore is also a caregiver, with many grappling with having to balance their caregiving duties, full-time work and their own health issues. ROSA polled 7,700 S'pore residents between ages of 48 & 79. It found close to half of older caregivers are still working full-time & more than half of these caregivers are women. Survey also found about 24% of caregivers have to take care of more than one person.
Over half of the caregivers’ wards are aged 80 & above, 66& of these wards suffer from mobility problems & physical weakness due to their advanced years. Poll also found that a hefty 34% of caregiver suffer from at least two chronic diseases themselves. With a lot of their care and attention going to their wards, caregivers often ignore own health, causing their conditions to worsen. Interestingly, only about 50% caregivers surveyed aware of increasing number of care services available to them. A whopping 80% of respondents have never used such resources.

Most Valuable Party (MVP) the newest party joins 2025 GE: A political ‘dark horse’ in making?.
Most Valuable Party (MVP), led by an East Coast resident, Mr Chia Yun Kai.
who saw little improvement in the East Coast for several decades. Seeing S'poreans sufficiently prioritised in several areas, such as job security & opportunities, he believes that he can provide a more direct and efficient approach in using Singapore’s resources to create a greater positive impact on the lives of Singaporeans.
MVP’s “Singaporeans first” policy
While its mission and objectives are not against any other party, MVP is focused on prioritising the needs and concerns of every Singaporean, placing every citizen at the forefront of every policy made in Parliament. It doesn’t aim to disrupt or object to all policies, instead, it envisions providing a clear guidance on how policies and programmes can be better implemented to fit Singaporeans’ needs. MVP’s platform consists of empowering Singaporeans, operating with integrity, executing with efficiency, progressing in unity, and ensuring sustainability. A movement of bold and visionary young minds united by a shared dream—to build a Singapore that works for everyone. It aims to unlock the full potential of every Singaporean, ensuring that opportunities, resources, and progress are distributed efficiently so that Singapore is a place where innovation thrives, ambition is rewarded, and no one is left behind. “MVP is not just the opposition—it is the architect of a better tomorrow,” Kai said.
