Sad to see this news. I can't believe a 72years old cabby still allow to drive full time on the road. Even they might be physically fit, but that doesn't mean they are fast in reacting.

Sad but true....in years to come as Singapore population ages.....you see ah ma pole dancing and uncle and aunties at St Regis front desk....Uncle Lau already doing partime cleaner at Sands casino....that nothing new lah !

I feel more Sad to see an old man need to work till that age

MOI,

In yr view, do you mean LTA should not allow senior drivers for the purpose livelihood or not allowing them drive at all?

now SIA cut older workers pay when they reach 60 yrs old to extend their working life.

So how does the S'pore gov view the senior citizen's contribution to nation building?

make them work until last day n cut their pay? is this what they called "Cheaper, Better & Faster" or "Betterer & Betterest"?

With the greying population and increase cost of living, will not be surprised at all that many people have to work till the day they sleep in the coffin...

Your question seem exaggerating.
Stop their livelihood?
Not allowing them to drive at all?
