TOUCHpoint@AMK 433 is an accessible neighbourhood facility opened in 2019 to leverage community resources – to connect, equip and empower residents – to support ageing-in-place. The visit also included a tour of TOUCH Day Rehabilitation Centre (TDRC).
At the visit, Minister Masagos also shared about the changes to the Seniors’ Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF) and Assistive Technology Fund (ATF), which will enable seniors and people with special needs to have the appropriate prescribed devices to help them enjoy a better quality of life. These changes will take effect from 14 February 2022.
