Comments on: Senior citizens still have much to offer http://twosen.com/2008/01/23/senior-citizens-still-have-much-to-offer/ Current issues, feedback & complaints on public services in Malaysia Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:14:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Peter Yew http://twosen.com/2008/01/23/senior-citizens-still-have-much-to-offer/#comment-10 Peter Yew Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:06:09 +0000 http://twosen.com/2008/01/23/senior-citizens-still-have-much-to-offer/#comment-10 I could not agree more! And thank you TwoSen for this collection of current event letters to the editors. I am coming to 60 and I believe that what we seniors cannot offer by way of our physical abilities or presence we can offer by way of advice, wisdom, foresight and of course our experience. Many seniors want to just fade away because they feel they are like used paperbags destined to be discarded. The younger generation may be too impatient or arrogant to believe that seniors can offer them something useful in life, and in the process repeat history by reinventing mistakes that we have learned to avoid. Fortunately there are seniors who want to continue to contribute. To them I say that the world has been enriched because you did not believe that retirement is being sent into the pastures like old horses are. Even old horses are being put to good use nowadays so why shouldn't older people? We can learn a thing or two from the west where seniors still help in charity works or earn a small income to get by and pass their time. So here I am, giving my two sens.
