Active Ageing Centres call for more senior-friendly infrastructural changes

The scheme was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in his National Day Rally speech and aims to help seniors get the care they need at their doorsteps. But beyond facilities, some observers say the community must play a part in bringing seniors out of their homes. Sabrina Ng reports.
