Pioneer Generation

25 July 2015

At a Pioneer Generation roadshow, MediaCorp's Brian Richmond, reporting "live" on Gold 90.5 radio, said that all those born on or before 31 December 1949 were automatically Pioneer Generation members.

He added that all those who were citizens before 1987 were also Pioneer Generation members.

A person has to be born on or before 31 December 1949 and is a citizen before 1987 to be considered to be a Pioneer Generation member.

If radio personalities at a Pioneer Generation roadshow get their facts wrong, it's no wonder that some people are still confused more than a year after the Pioneer Generation scheme was introduced.
