Singapore is becoming a super-aged society, but keeping seniors active and healthy is only part of the challenge. How do we make sure different generations don’t end up living increasingly separate lives?

Sport could be one answer. A recent badminton event organized by ACDS brought together international champions, local youths and emerging talents, as well as adaptive athletes from Special Olympics Singapore and Team ABC, putting people of different ages and abilities on the same court.

But can sport really bridge Singapore’s generation and ability gaps? Or does bringing people together for a game only go so far?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr. Maliki Osman, former Member of Parliament and President of Antica Community Development and Services Limited, to find out more.
