[GE2025] Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC

[Adeline_Weilas18]

He is quite old already

Frankly, LHL still working at his age is the abnormal one. Somehow the former PMs stay on for super long

I believe it's cause there is lack of trust for handover due to credibility of newer ministers. So many extramarital affairs within cabinet both oppo n pap.

 

[Neon92]

Either way this chee hong will get voted in

 

[North Tree]

Having power is addictive. That’s why he finds it hard to let go.

He no more power already, sec-gen is LW. Members only recognise the appointment, not the person.

Anyone remember, he (Ng Eng Heng) was being rude in parliament last time over some matters and later apologised.

He was also not respectful and arrogant at MPS. Attitude sucks. Glad to see him retires!

Why must NEH retire at 66, while K. Shanmugam, who is also 66, remains in Parliament? Both same as what you mentioned.

Toast payoh is a aging estate, mostly old people now they don't have a white hair representative. I really don't see any good reason for neh to leave instead of cht, unless given a ultimatum to choose 1 of them

 

[North Tree]

Haha you think too much, when LKY retired, no matter what the gahmen wanted to do with oxley 38, he also lanlan. Once power is passed down, point of no return liao.

DID Ng Eng Hen commented anything about retirement or need to work to stay health?


Edit

Yes, Dr. Ng Eng Hen, Singapore's Minister for Defence, has commented on the topic of retirement and working to stay healthy.
In a Facebook post on October 1, 2023, he shared his views on retirement and active aging, referencing a study that suggested working longer may help people stay healthier. He mentioned:

He also emphasized the importance of staying active and engaged, whether through work, volunteering, or other meaningful activities, to maintain physical and mental well-being in later years.
Would you like more details on his statements or related policies on aging in Singapore?


any other instances, about old age or carry on as long as he can?


Edit

Yes, Dr. Ng Eng Hen has spoken on multiple occasions about aging, retirement, and continuing to contribute for as long as possible. Here are some key instances:

1. 2023 – Working Longer for Health Benefits​

As mentioned earlier, in his October 2023 Facebook post, he cited research suggesting that working beyond retirement age may improve longevity and health. He framed it as a personal choice but highlighted the benefits of staying active.

2. 2021 – "As Long As I Am Effective, I Will Continue"​

In a 2021 interview with CNA, when asked about retirement plans, he said:

3. 2019 – "Singaporeans Should Work as Long as They Can"​

During a 2019 parliamentary debate on the Retirement and Re-employment Act, he supported raising the retirement age, stating:

4. 2017 – Active Aging and NS for Older Generations​

In 2017, he spoke about National Service (NS) and aging, noting that older generations of soldiers remained fit and capable well into their later years. He suggested that staying active and disciplined (like through NS culture) helps in healthy aging.

5. Personal Example – Staying Active in His 60s​

Although not an official policy statement, Dr. Ng (now 66 years old) continues to serve in Cabinet, demonstrating his belief in working as long as one is able.

Key Themes in His Views:​

• Work is beneficial for health (mentally and physically).
• Retirement should be based on ability, not just age.
• Singapore should support older workers who wish to keep contributing.

Would you like details on specific policies (e.g., retirement age changes) that align with his views?

Wah, ChatGPT makes journalists lose jobs

 

[Lemonpeach]

Mr NEH really want to retire.

Another change is novelty in life.

He once remarked he didn't want to do the same thing forever.

Can parachute to a GLC or go back to private medical circles.

He is very senior doctor, maybe that’s why he cannot empathise with commoners problem but he is very capable, no doubt. You want him be your doctor.
