The above figures show that life expectancy is at best about 85. But we must be proactive and prepare to live till 95 or 100. So we must prepare our people now, and keep their money before they squander them away.
And with our world class health and medical care system, Singaporeans will outlive all the the people in the world soon. 50% of those who are 62 now will live to 85. That is a Singaporean fact. They are more or less guaranteed to benefit from the annuity scheme.

i wonder how many people died between 55 to 85 yrs of age vs those who live beyond this in the last 5 or 10 yrs.
swee say said those who are 62 now 50% will live to 85 and beyond. he did not say how many will die before reaching 62. neither did he say how many will die within 5 years from 85.
neither did he say how many who are 85 and above need help.
Those ministers of past who died, since Dr Wee Kim Wee.. What are their ages? How many are in tehir late 70s to 80s?
:-(

WOW REDBEAN! Man, can you believe this?
Someone has attempted to "impersonate" me! Damn he was so good, I myself almost got fooled!
Anyway, it is TOUCHING to receive this kind of attention from anonymous people. Complete strangers who are so moved by your presence on the net, so much so that they are motivated to acknowledge you.
Redbean, I'm a star!
You are a star?

of course you are a star. your fans have been following every post of yours, even every other blog and forum you visited.
