Is this uniquely Singapore or happened in many other countries?

Was watching a lecture by him yesterday. He said when he was here he was sad to see an old man who barely can walk still working as a cleaner in Singapore.

the only way to help them is to vote for opposition so that PAP will lose another GRC.

Old folks if nothing to do no motivation.
Do something, self worthy.
Keep learning, keep doing even when you age. If your health allows.
Some elderly volunteer choose to do charity work,
Devote time to church or temple
Sad to see some wondering aimlessly at void deck, smoke, drink or bet on horses.

Reverend Haitao is from which heaven?
BTW, it is more appropriate to call a Buddhist monk "Venerable", instead of Reverend.

Should let all the ministers' sons and daughters and those pampered kids do all the plate clearings and washings instead to teach them hardship.

It is ok to work for those above 60 years -old based on 4 conditions
1) Not under rain or sun
2) Safe, hygienic and not- machinery related
3) part-time
4) same CPF rates like any other adults

I don't mind working when I'm old but I wouldn't want to work as a cleaner or to carry cardboards.
To relief the burden on the elderly, we should give them free transport, or at least free transport during certain hours of the day.

We have to draw a line come so call " Elderly at work " To GREEDY PAP THEY DON'T BOTHER Your back already crook or can't hardly walk whereas you struggle to work despite health problem " to them is " You should be happy still can work "
I only can see the MOST Comfort so call Elderly workers still working YET their pay still consider Very good despite got " slight pay cut "
are Civil servants.

Elderly in Spore can do what? I read from other forum
1. Cleaner, sweep, mop floor, wash toilet, schools, hotel kitchen etc etc
2. Collect plates but this is now being cut down due to return tray policies
3. Security guard
My father siblings is now doing 1 and 3. Their feedback is 3 is more layback then 1 but need to do shift work so can be tiring on old elderly. 1 will depend on what kind of cleaning becuz it covers a very wide industries

Once you are middle-age, PAP will make you jobless
When you are old, PAP will make you work in the Top 30 Lousy Jobs
