Esther says people should continue working past the retirement age if they are able. — FAIHAN GHANI/The StarA GREAT workplace environment starts with the individuals who nurture it and this is especially true for clinic assistant Esther Russel who turns 70 tomorrow.
She has been working for a private dental clinic for more than 50 years, and has no intention of retiring anytime soon.“The dentists and clinic staff have all been kind to me from then until today. “I consider it my second home,” said Esther, who was a staff member for about 10 years in the clinic’s first branch in Klang before transferring to the Shah Alam branch.Esther remembers that there were many other job offers she could have taken up when she was younger but she felt at home in the clinic because of her colleagues’ kindness.
Throughout her five decades at the clinic, she has seen young dentists become experts in their field.“I have known the dentists even before they got married. In fact, I have seen their children grow up before my very eyes.“I learned a lot and observed the transition from using hand-mixed amalgam to capsulated amalgam.She said working with young people in the clinic had helped her maintain a youthful spirit.
For those wanting to stretch their career spans, Esther advises a good understanding of their work capabilities.“If people in other countries are willing to work at an older age, we Malaysians must match this.”
