On the Mandatory Retirement Age at 58

The govrnment must have strong reasons to raise the mandatory retirement age to 58 years for civil servants. There must be valid reasons for the extention: more quality contributions, problem-solving, creative and innovative ideas, dynamism and others and all these should lead to impoved efficiency of the civil service.

It is not just for the welfare of the civil servants but that of the rakyat that must be of concern. It is heartening to see when civil servants perform their work with commitment and dedication but disgusting when they are indiffereent to the rakyat when they request for help in the offices, most especially the kampong folks.

Remember that the civil servants should be servant to the rakyat, their bosses who pay for good services.
