Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 7: Mohd Fahmi Aliman on encouraging participation in sports
Regular participation in sports is important to achieve positive health outcomes, said MP Mohd Fahmi Aliman in Parliament on Monday (Mar 6). He cited a 2018 study which found that a healthy lifestyle driven by regular physical activity was essential in improving longevity and minimising healthcare costs. The study also noted that older people in Singapore tended to be less active compared to other groups. Mr Fahmi asked the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth how it aims to encourage less active groups such as seniors and young children to participate regularly in sports.
