That seems a healthier approach to a well-balanced old age than we have here, but I am aware that it might be driven by the fear of destitution. I have been retired 10 years now, but am still busier than ever and with a growing list of things that I am suposed to be getting done! I have heard of people with nothing in their lives after retirement who died soon after, I even know some who moan about boredom! I also know (relatively healthy, positive) elderly people who go out litter-picking and other things too.A criticism sometimes levelled at the karang guni business is that it relies on elderly people who are paid poorly for the amount of physical work they put in.
But for Madam Ng the job isn't really about money these days. Since being widowed, she has lived comfortably with one of her daughters and her family.
"It is physically tough. My daughters tell me to stop. But I'd rather do it than sit around at home."
"Sitting too much is bad for you - it's very bad for the mind. When I'm out with my cart, it helps to clear my mind."
