Governments are encouraging older workers to continue working later in life, and to delay their retirement to offset the dependence on the support of (the fewer) younger workers by increased the age of retirement from 58 to 60 years. This paper aims to look at the association between the public employees’ perception towards the implementation of new retirement policy. This study involves 91 public sectors employees from various organization such as from Malaysia Department of Insolvency (MdI) Temerloh, Pahang, UiTM Campus Bandaraya Melaka, Sekolah Kebangsaan Tedong, Merlimau Melaka, Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia Negeri, Melaka, Kementerian Dalam Negeri, Melaka, Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Melaka, Kementerian Kewangan Negeri Melaka, and the last is Pejabat Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi, dan Kepenggunaan Melaka as our respondents using questionnaire.
