He said the Public Service Department is also prepared to consider this as many individuals are still productive at the current mandatory retirement age of 60. “The World Bank has proposed that Malaysia increase the retirement age of its public-sector workforce in stages since we now have a better life expectancy. Mohd Khairul said this when responding to a question from the media about the possibility of the government raising the retirement age for civil servants.
