Singapore to launch $3.5b Age Well SG programme

DPM Wong said will support the expansion of active ageing centres.

The Singapore government will be investing $3.5b over the next decade in a new programme that will cater to senior citizens and ensure their well-being.

Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said this programme will include expanding the network of active ageing centres offering a wider range of programmes from physical exercises to volunteering activities.

The programme will also include developing more assisted living options such as Community Care Apartments and improving home care arrangements.

“Silver upgrades" will also be implemented in residential properties to enable seniors to live more independently and safely, which will include amenities such as therapeutic gardens and barrier–free ramps.

Age Well SG will also develop commuter infrastructure such as bus stops and roads to ensure that they are senior-friendly.

“Preventive care is especially important. Loneliness can do great harm to seniors. They need to stay active and stay socially connected

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
