4 min - Singapore is Ageing. Are We Ready? | With Minister Ong Ye Kung
Singapore is ageing — fast.
By 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be 65 or older. What does that mean for our healthcare system, our social fabric, and our sense of purpose as we age?
In this episode of Lens on Singapore, Claressa Monteiro sits down with Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung, to ask the tough questions:
-
Will healthcare remain affordable and accessible for everyone?
-
Can seniors grow old with dignity, connection, and joy?
-
What is the government doing to tackle chronic loneliness and social exclusion?
-
And how can we all take charge of our own ageing journey?
This conversation is more than policy — it’s personal. Because ageing isn’t someone else’s problem. It’s our shared future.
