Do you agree extending the retirement age?

Tuesday, 06-February-2007, Prime Minister Abdullah pointed out the government will study extending the retirement age of civil servants to 60 years old at the annual dinner of the Association of Administrative and Diplomatic Service (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/2/6/nation/16795622&sec=nation). He felt that 40 used to be the age of maturity but now people were at the prime of their life when they were in their 50s. And also he said that civil servants who reached the age of 56 would possess a wealth of experience, and they could still contribute to the government.

I think that Malaysian national constitution and administration system are always base on UK as chief source during 50 years became independent. Much legislation now ought to be based on current national conditions but revise or adjust.

Now national education is already popularizes, healthy consciousness of the people have more strengths gradually, also the corresponding factor has rise such as society economy and per capita life-span.

Along with the sustained development of Malaysia, ultimately, extending retirement age must put in practice. The government will consider canceling the retirement age compellingly, allow the employees to work until they consider retiring.

However, the more important thing is when the government decides to extend retirement age, also ought to reinforce to manage the efficiency and quality of human resources further, may ensure that the plan of extending retirement age and will not derive some negative consequence.
