SINGAPORE: “I would like to eat healthily, but work has just been too busy for me.” That’s a common lament dietitians like me hear. Indeed, long working hours, a hectic work schedule, and even working from home after office hours are common in Singapore, with its reputation as one of the most competitive countries globally. In schools, Singaporean students are similarly feeling the pressure, spending twice the amount of time on homework weekly as compared to the global average, according to 2012 findings by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. With competing priorities including family responsibilities and a packed social life, healthy eating inevitably takes a backseat.

SINGAPORE - Social distancing measures have been hard on some people, especially the vulnerable and elderly like Madam Lai Yuet Meng. The 75-year-old has not left her flat in Bukit Panjang, which she shares with her 69-year-old husband, since March. They are both blind and without children to help them. The closest FairPrice outlet is a 30-minute journey away by bus. Thankfully, they have had volunteers from the Silver Generation Office (SGO) to help them, from picking up their groceries to accompanying them for hospital appointments. The volunteers got in touch with Madam Lai after she called the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) hotline. The SGO is the agency's outreach arm. The AIC, which supports seniors and their caregivers, and links callers to community care services, saw a spike in calls during the circuit breaker period that started on April 7. It received an average of 300 calls a day in the two months leading up to Monday (June 1), or 25 per cent more … [Read more...] about Government agency received 300 calls a day during circuit breaker period for eldercare assistance

Seniors in need are continuing to receive help as social service agencies and volunteer networks providing essential aid remain active during the circuit breaker period. For example, a network of volunteer groups and ground-up movements, coordinated by the National Council of Social Service, has been distributing meals, surgical masks, disinfectants, sanitiser, exercise bands, telecommunications equipment and SIM cards to seniors, Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee told a press conference yesterday. "Through these distributions, the volunteers take the opportunity to guide seniors on the necessary precautions that need to be taken such as frequent hand washing, and check if the seniors need any other assistance such as transport to their medical appointments," he said. This is being done with minimal movement and interaction of people on the ground, he added. He said his ministry is also joining other agencies on safe distancing patrols to advise seniors to … [Read more...] about Coronavirus: Vulnerable seniors being supported during circuit breaker
