A research paper from the trash bin came to me for my reading on a Sunday morning. Its title, ’55 – The age of Insanity’, is quite mysterious and provocative. It has a list of professors and doctors attached as co contributors to the article. The main author apparently is a young genius but his name, like the rest, has been erased from the paper and I could only briefly make up the initial Dr AS. Even the institution has been struck out from this mysterious paper from the trash bin.

The theme of this paper is about a defective gene PME55 found in true blue Singaporeans born after the war, ie the post war babies or baby boomers. This gene is practically non existent among the generations before the war. The effect of this gene is that it will be activated at the biological age of 55 and anyone with such a defective gene would be morphed into a new person minus all the skills, knowledge and experience of life. It is like a Trojan Horse virus that wiped out the memory and turned the brain into a clean brain or ‘unprogrammed’ brain with no user software inside.

At the critical age of 55, whole generation of true blue Singaporeans would suddenly turned into walking zombies. They could not perform the jobs they were doing yesterday, become completely useless. Regardless of their professions, they will be immediately terminated for the good of the organisations and quickly bungled out of their jobs. And these people, mostly PMEs, because of their blank brains, did not know what is happening to them due to their reduced mental ability. So they left their jobs as a matter of fact and retired from life, neither happy or unhappy and not knowing why.

Some may find jobs that are more suitable to their lower mental ability. According to the paper, the best jobs that are suitable for people affected by PME55 are security guards and taxi drivers. Some may not even be suitable for such jobs and will be retired permanently. No employer would want them. Those who could still find some brain cells tickling could be retrained, put on courses to re-educate them with simple knowledge for some low level jobs. This is about the best that can be done to people affected by this disease.
There are also changes to the characters of these sick people. There will be personality changes. From being highly respected individuals in positions of authority, responsibility, ability and trustworthiness, some would become philanderers, some amorous, some gamblers and some will simply not be able to manage their money and their lives.

The govt knew about this disease. The employers too knew about this. Anyone who knows about this defective gene and its effect will be able to understand what is going on in this city state. Govt policies like retirement age, CPF minimum sums, training programmes, not wasting resources to provide tertiary education to these people, influx of foreign talents, reversed mortgage, annuities etc etc begin to make sense. They are answers and solutions to PME55. Even employment policies are adjusted to take care of PME55.







Fortunately or unfortunately not many people knew about this defective gene and could not understand why certain policies and things are happening in the way they are happening. The defective gene is a state secret. Perhaps that is the reason why the paper was not published and ended up in a trash bin.

The good thing, the govt is coming out with a slew of policies to take care of the true blue generations of Singaporeans with this gene. Their life savings are protected. There are strict rules against them going to the casinos. There is the Pioneer Generation Package to take care of them too. New manual jobs that are less demanding and taxing on their blank brain cells are created for them so that they can continue to work if they want to enjoy their dignity. Their retirements have been carefully planned to ensure that all their financial needs are well taken care of. They have nothing to worry about even if they lose their jobs at 55. The country will continue to prosper with their replacement from overseas to support them.

In the research papers, the pages on recommendations were all blanks. But now the picture is clearer. Though the recommendations may be missing, the knowledge of the existence of this defective gene clears all the doubts about why things are happening the way it is. There is a new urgency to replace the population with new migrants that don’t have this defective gene that will self destruct true blue Singaporeans at 55.

I am going throw this piece of paper back into the trash bin. No one should be reading it. It is a national secret of this unique city state.
