Singapore Perspectives 2018 "Together" — Lunch Dialogue With Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean

Institute of Policy Studies

The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) held its annual flagship Singapore Perspectives (SP) conference on 22 January 2018. The theme of SP2018 was “Together” and it considered Singapore’s demographic challenges and opportunities as a global city-state without natural resources. Acknowledging the inevitable process of ageing and Singapore’s ageing phenomenon, DPM Teo highlighted in his speech the importance of ageing with vigour. He also added that owing to the strong foundations laid down by our pioneers, Singaporeans are now better prepared for ageing compared to many other countries. Notwithstanding, Singaporeans need to remain committed at the individual, familial, communal, occupational, and national levels to stay prepared for ageing.
