Singaporeans

Yes, hello, welcome to The Wellness Hour with me, Cheryl Goh.

Now, many Singaporeans know that staying active is important, but maintaining fitness and mobility as we age, you know, can be easier said than done.

Yet some seniors, you know, continue to defy expectations, proving that growing older doesn't mean slowing down.

So supporting active ageing in Singapore is Antica Community Development and Services, which encourages seniors to stay physically active, socially connected and engaged in their communities.

Singapore is looking to grow its medical technology industry, which already employs more than 17,000 people.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific MedTech Forum today, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Gan Xiao Huang said the government will work with companies to develop new products, expand into regional markets and equip Singaporeans with the skills needed by the industry.

The sector's manufacturing output has more than tripled from $5.5 billion in 2013 to $20.3 billion in 2024.

An ASTAR program has also supported nine companies in developing and bringing new medical products to market, including work on a minimally invasive surgical robot.

Mm-hmm.

You know, as Singaporeans, this was something that was happening in our midst.

Some of us kind of knew about it 'cause we might have friends, some people were following, some people, uh...

But I, I think a lot of Singaporeans, um, wouldn't have known much about it if it wasn't for the intense coverage that was in the press-

Mm.

Mm

It's basically fighting for these kind of civic rights-

Yeah

You said that you've been a cardiologist for some three decades.

Have you seen an improvement in how Singaporeans look after their health? There's this huge push for healthier SG.

Are you seeing some fabulous results or is there still some level of concern?

We do have better drugs now and there's also better awareness of healthy lifestyle.

But for Gen Z, that timeline appears to be changing.

More young Singaporeans are starting to invest early, letting time work in their favor.

In fact, one student in Mortacular had begun his investing journey as soon as he turned 18.

So why did he start his investment journey so young? And what can his experience tell us about how an entire generation views money and wealth? Well, joining us today to share his experience is Sim Sui Kee, who is a student at Republic Polytechnic.

So Singapore hopes its gamification strategy, which launched this month, will improve concentration, critical thinking.

and the imagination of Singaporeans.

So here's how it works.
