SINGAPORE - The People's Action Party (PAP), long associated with kindergartens across the country, is now setting its sights on a network of senior care centres throughout the island.
The PAP Community Foundation (PCF), the party's charitable arm, will soon launch its first senior care centre in Simei, the first of 10 to 15 such centres it hopes to open in the next five years, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Sunday.
The centres will provide seniors with health and social care services, and help support working family care givers, he added. Mr Lee was speaking at the annual PCF Family Day at Universal Studios Singapore.
The announcement comes as the Government pays closer attention to the needs of an ageing population.
