Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Liang Eng Hwa on Age Well Neighbourhoods and upkeeping of ageing estate and home improvement
As Singapore becomes a super-aged country this year, the key challenge is not simply about longevity but quality of life and ensuring that seniors can age well in their own communities, said MP Liang Eng Hwa. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4), he asked for more details on the government’s plans to design towns where seniors can transition seamlessly across various stages of ageing. Turning to estate maintenance, he called for a review of the funding framework to reflect the new cost realities.
