Retrenched PMET driving for a living says he can’t afford to spend his last days in Singapore

Jeffrey Khoo, Deputy Organising Secretary of the Progress Singapore Party, recently shared his encounter and conversation with a local driver on his Facebook page. In his post, Mr Khoo recounted how he took a ride to attend a meeting in town, and during their conversation, he learned that the driver was formerly a seasoned PMET as well. Difficulty to find job, main reason for rejection was “too old” Despite actively seeking job opportunities, the driver faced difficulty securing employment due to ageism. “For the companies that interviewed him, the main reason for rejection was that he was too old.” Although it is already a common story these days, what caught Jeffrey’s attention was the driver’s deep disappointment in not being able to retire in Singapore due to the high cost of living.
