Mr Lee, who is also Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, was speaking on March 15 at the launch of a new space for seniors and their caregivers at Block 839 Yishun Street 81. One in four individuals will be 65 and older in 2030, said Mr Lee, and this lab, a collaboration between SG Assist and the Singapore University of Social Sciences , is an example of how Singapore can prepare for its ageing population.

At the launch, SUSS provost Robbie Goh said the lab helps the public to learn about assistive products that can support the changing needs of Singapore’s ageing population. Products currently displayed at the showcase include utensils that counter hand tremors, rubber grips for doorknobs and sound amplifiers for seniors with hearing loss.
