He does not need to drive the twelve hour shift like others. Basically he drove about 4-5hours a day to kill time in the weekdays.

...The editor of TRE (TR Emeritus) commented that: <br /><br />"At an old age, if one has to work, it ought to be for the reason “one lives to work rather than one works to live”. This is indeed very much like what Johnny is going through now, living to work with a nice welfare support from the Govt at $1,500 pension benefits per month plus free medicals. So, Johnny should be thankful that he has welfare."<br /><br />Pension was a legacy of the British colonial master and was removed almost immediately when PAP came to power and replaced by CPF. However, Ministers pension was scraped only recently.

That message is that if you are retired, you will shrivel up, face the four walls, have nothing to do and just wait for death, if you do not work even if you are financially independent. <br /><br />Nothing could be further from the truth.<br /><br />In life, everything has a season. In our childhood days, we enjoyed our lives as children do. We study hard to excel in school in our teens and adult life so that we can have a good career later. Having secured a good job, we married, raised kids, see them properly educated and the next cycle of life develops. There are many things in life we want to do but were unable to because we were too busy bringing up our children and earning a decent income to put food on the table and shelter over our heads.<br /><br />In our twilight years, to work when you don't need to is to say the least silly. There are countless books we wanted to read but didn't find the time. There are concerts to go to, countries to explore, people to meet and even if time and money permits, a romantic fling or two isn't asking too much. All of which takes time and you wouldn't be able to do it if you had to drive a taxi for more than 8 hours a day. You may not even have the desire or energy to want to do the things you like most if you had to spend a big chunk of the day negotiating heavy traffic, competing for fares, brave rain and sun and God forbid encounter the unreasonable fare who would cause violence against you. No way!<br /><br />So to say that if you are healthy and financially independent and you still have to work, I think I like to take it with a spoonful of salt before I believe it.<br /><br />People who needs to work mostly have to do it for the money and that is the truth.WBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232737933997263920.post-71750265797227081372013-07-07T22:35:32.144+08:002013-07-07T22:35:32.144+08:00LKY said “You work as long as you can work and yo...LKY said “You work as long as you can work and you will be healthier and happier for it.

Our senior citizens deserves better that this. <br />Some ministers said our senior citizens do not want to accept handouts. Ofcourse they wont since the elites/ministers are a shameless lot. <br />Hv u ever been in a taxi driven by someone over 60? I hv n its a huge difference my friends. I just leave my fate unto God's hands. Those elites will be questioned in the afterlife.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
