Here's a more detailed timeline:

1993: Retirement age established at 60.
1999: Retirement age increased to 62.
2012: Re-employment age legislation introduced.
2017: Re-employment age raised to 67.
2022: Retirement age raised to 63.
2026: Retirement age to be further raised to 64, and re-employment age to 69.
2030: Retirement age planned to reach 65, and re-employment age to 70

those born after the year 2000, may have to work till the day you 'mati' if the age keep increasing? Is this sustainable?

Senior counsel Harpreet Singh and 3 other newer faces were confirmed on WP ticket for Punggol GRC?.


(Yes, is confirmed) WP face off at May 3 polls against PAP team headed by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong in very newest group representation constituency.

Elsewhere, WP vice-chairman Faisal Manap has left the party’s Aljunied GRC crown jewel to contest Tampines GRC with four others, pitting the team against the PAP and two other opposition parties in a four-cornered fight...On WP front, there is talk that it could field senior counsel Harpreet Singh Nehal – regarded “star catch” by WP party – in East Coast GRC?. “He, don’t want to be parachuted anywhere safe,”
Mr Harpreet Singh had said in an interview on April 11.

Note: On yesterday May 3. He's suddenly was parachuted in newest Punggol GRC. Where PAP party is waiting for him. So WP boss is sweating is out.  Bigeyes

Chee Soon Juan needs to explain why he abandoned Bukit Batok for Sembawang West, says Ong Ye Kung. Mr Ong Ye Kung said he would not be able to take care of Sembawang West residents if SDP chief Chee Soon Juan became MP for the single-seat ward, as Dr Chee would constantly challenge him and not work with him.
