Helping older Singaporeans to lead full and active lives

We will help older Singaporeans cope with change so that they can continue to live active and meaningful lives. To do this, we will:

• Encourage companies to employ and retrain older workers

• Enable workers to retire later

• Create more housing options for senior citizens such as HDB studio apartments, private retirement homes and rental housing

• Make public places and public transportation more accessible to senior citizens

• Implement the Lift Upgrading Programme in all HDB estates by 2015

• Top up the CPF retirement and Medisave accounts of older citizens

• Set up a “Golden Opportunities” Fund for innovative projects by senior citizens that will keep them active socially and promote intergenerational bonding
