Making peace with yourself & remaining positive, no matter what life throws at you, is important for ageing well, says Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh

In a recent social media post, Workers' Party Secretary-General Pritam Singh highlighted the elderly residents of Eunos ward, where he has been representing since 2011, as examples of those who have mastered the art of aging gracefully. On Saturday, October 31st, Singh participated in the Walk-to-Bond program and later Tea with Residents at Block 133 void deck, expressing gratitude for the clear skies that allowed the events to take place without the usual haze.

One resident, "Aunty Jenny," impressed Singh with her unwavering positivity even after undergoing major surgery. According to Singh, maintaining a positive outlook and making peace with oneself is crucial for aging well, despite the challenges life throws at us. Singh's own year has been filled with obstacles, from a vote on January 14 to determine his status as Leader of the Opposition to his subsequent removal from the position by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong the following day.

Additionally, Singh was struck off the rolls of advocates and solicitors in August for lying to a parliamentary committee and subsequently fined S$14,000. However, Singh remains resilient and enjoys the support of both his party and the public. In June, a "supermajority" of party members voted to keep him as their leader, and many Singaporeans have expressed hope that this chapter is finally coming to an end.
