AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Disability Support Boost: Singapore will spend up to 60% more per person with disabilities over the next five years, with a new Employment Support Office and stronger “post-18 cliff” job and training support. Inclusive Community Rollout: Queenstown and Marine Parade will pilot more disability-friendly public spaces from 2027, while SG Enable expands employment support at Paya Lebar Quarter. Polyclinic Care Upgrades: From 2027, all front-line polyclinic staff will be trained to better support people with intellectual disabilities and autism, with priority queues and designated polyclinics by 2028. Air Quality Alert: Central Singapore’s air quality returned to the unhealthy range, with haze guidance stressing PM2.5 readings and daily PSI health advisories. Mental Health & Safety: A man rescued from an air-con ledge in Bukit Panjang was apprehended under the Mental Health Act after police crisis negotiations. Home Fire Risk: A Bukit Panjang HDB flat fire confined to a bedroom sent three people to hospital; SCDF urged residents not to overload outlets and to avoid unattended charging. Longevity & Spending: A new Asia-Pacific silver economy report highlights healthcare, travel and tourism as top spend areas for people aged 60+. Digital Media & Youth: Researchers call for coordinated global action as heavy digital media use is linked to worse mental health, sleep and less exercise in under-25s.
