United Nations human rights expert Rosa Kornfeld-Matte today commended the Government of Singapore for its efforts and commitment to ensure that older persons fully enjoy their human rights. However, she noted that “addressing the needs of an ageing population requires laws and policies grounded in a human rights-based approach.” “I urge the authorities to ensure that all older persons in Singapore are able to age with dignity,” Ms. Kornfeld-Matte stressed

A young SBS driver was on duty with CT8 route, he was kind and caring to elderly people who boarded the bus. His celebrity-like X factor outlook also mesmorise us, a group of silver lining hair!

One main concern is he drove steadily, not too fast for the consideration of elderly people onboard his bus.

The guy then led the uncle to a safe spot and told him to sit and rest. The young guy then proceeded to run out to the main road, hailed a cab and the cab turned into the carpark to fetch the uncle.

You don't know me, and I could not possibly know you. A few days ago, you called my mother in Singapore, lied to her that she was being investigated by the PRC police for trafficking fake credit cards and money laundering, threatening her with arrest if she did not cooperate.

Someone I know was recently the victim of a phone scam. Yes, one of the "DHL" scams that has been reported on the news in recent months. The person is a 70 year old retiree. She is so risk adverse that her only form of investment is to put her money in fixed deposit accounts. Yet, over the course of 5 days, she almost lost her life's savings. What struck me was the level of control that the team of 3 scammers had over her

I stay in Bukit Batok and I want to complain about this stupid barrier that can be seen in certain parts of the estate. It is an eyesore and it is rather difficult to navigate. This is unnecessary inconvenience to elderly residents and those using wheelchair. Furthermore it is impractical and is a waste of money by the town council we are paying.
