One of the fastest rising silver nations yet
Saturday, 17 December 2011 00:07 Published in CommunityWhile Singapore may fare better than its counterparts in avoidance and preparation, it still will be near impossible to escape the negative economic impact of an aging population.
Singapore currently has a population of 300,000 Singaporeans aged over 65 (9% of Singaporean population); by 2030 this figure is estimated to be three times more (900,000).
The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has slammed Transport Minister, Lui Tuck Yew, for his “disturbing inability” to “come to grips” with the breakdown in service of Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.
Mr Lui had posted a note on his Facebook page on Thursday after the latest disruptions to the MRT system that same evening.
The recent ruckus in the media about the bare-bodied male homo sapiens parading outside the soon-to-be-opened Abercrombie & Fitch store along Orchard Road made me curious to want check them out. A publicity stunt by the clothing & apparel store to be sure, but hey, let us be honest, how often do you see 50 delicious male models topless along our Singapore streets? And in such close proximity and affability! I must be dreaming!
