The government has made the official announcement to extend the mandatory retirement age for civil servants from 56 years to 58 years............
Yesterday, my headmistress called for a meeting. She briefed us on the various conditions of the respective retirement age........55, 56 or 58.
At the end, each of us were given a form....choose our choice and sign the document.
After much consideration....yours truly picked 55. Guess...it's going to be hard to drag on till 58. By then..I'll be too old to stand in front of the classroom.....or even to hold a chalk !
Perhaps..I will be having my own golden age activities with my fellow senior citizens buddies....rather than facing the bunch of monsters in school. I probably won't be able to have the energy to raise my voice or to discipline the notorios ones....
Many of my colleagues had chosen 58 as they thought that the extended 3 years would bring in extra monetary funds to their bank accounts. One friend told be that it's better to work than to stay idle at home (and later lead to macam-macam sakit tua..when brain gets inactive).
Well...she has a point there. However...after retirement, one can still maintain an active lifestyle. There're many activities or past time that one can indulge in. One can even sign up for a short course...or further studies...! Since now, one has the time to fully commit to it.
Vacation...
Take up a hobby
Or start a small scale business venture...
What do you think on this issue ?
