Growing up under the loving care of my maternal Grandmother, senior citizens have a special place in my heart. I was very heartened to learn that the People’s Association <\/a><\/strong>(PA) has launched the \u2018Senior Academy<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 with the key mission to encourage more seniors (50 years old and above) to pursue lifelong learning aspirations and lead an active, happy lifestyle.  Through the Senior Academy<\/a><\/strong>, they can pick up new knowledge, skills, interests, and make new like-minded friends. This will enable them to continue to lead fulfilling lives and avoid feeling socially isolated.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I personally think this is such a brilliant initiative given Singapore’s ageing population.  <\/span><\/span>My Mum is a Pioneer Generation retiree. For the first few years of her retirement, she was caring for my nephew. But now she has more time on her hands, I would like to see her enjoy her golden years. Besides listening to her fav radio stations (FM95.8, FM97.2) and watching Taiwanese TV serials at home, I would encourage her to participate in this host of interesting courses awaiting her at the Community Clubs (CCs)!<\/p>\n
