KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- A Senator proposed that civil servants who reach the retirement age of 55 undergo medical check-ups and their performance record considered before they are allowed to work until 58.Datuk Wira Syed Ali Syed Abbas AlHabshee said this was to ensure that only the healthy ones and those with excellent track records were retained.
"With advancing age comes a host of diseases which will affect performance and the public delivery system," he said when debating the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's address in the Dewan Negara here Monday.
Syed Ali who admitted that he was still confused with the extended retirement age directive, urged the Public Service Department (PSD) to review it and proposed that those interested in extending their service be compelled to provide a performance report.
"Only those who are active should have their service extended, not the lazy bones who only give a poor image of the civil service," he said.
Meanwhile, Senator Ahmad Hussin described the corrupt, including Members of Parliament (MPs) who intend to switch parties as "dirty dogs".
"MPs must not switch parties because of money. They have a responsibility to the voters and must uphold the mandate and trust," he added.
tunku : i guess only the healthy and with good tracking records should be given extension.hope they will find a way to identify them and don't rely on the department's head alone as there will be serious apple polishing issues and may be bribes.
