Thank you to everyone who made it for this year's SAS Appreciation Day! It is our annual tradition to celebrate our supporters whether they be donors, volunteers, or partners, to show our immense gratitude for being a community that we can always rely on.

This year we had an exciting musical line up of performances starting with our resident drummers, followed by SAS' very own Avenue One band, our EXCO Mr Szeto, and our volunteers from Care & Share group. To all those that couldn't make it this year, you were sorely missed and we hope to see everyone again next year!

Today we commemerate World Sight Day. In partnership with the Singapore Women's Association - SWA, our residents were able to get their eye screening this year. It’s not always easy to bring our residents offsite to get their eye check up, so it has been made very convenient for us to have the eye screening in our MPH. Under the Singapore Vision Programme, 50 of our residents were provided with complimentary eye screenings.

Ahead of the screening, our care team worked closely with the programme team during the pre-visit to identify residents who needed their eyesight checked. The SWA volunteers also played an important role in assisting residents to and from the screening area. Their patience, care and hands-on support helped make the screening accessible to residents with different mobility needs.

Good eye health is especially important for our elderly residents. As we age, changes in eyesight may occur naturally, while chronic health conditions can also affect vision. Sometimes, these changes may go unnoticed or be accepted as simply part of growing older. Regular eye screenings can therefore play an important role in identifying potential concerns and helping our residents maintain their quality of life.

Today we sadly bid farewell to our Carlsberg Van that has been with us since 2010. This van has been with us through thick and thin. It has transported crucial deliveries of medication, food, donated items, and even people. It has been a great 16 years and we thank you for your service. Our immense gratefulness to Carlsberg for sponsoring us this vehicle all those years ago 💚💚💚

We were honoured to have our CEO, Mr Timothy Liu, join fellow leaders at ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026 for the panel discussion, “Building the Longevity Ecosystem: Aligning Capital, Care and Innovation for an Ageing Singapore.”

Alongside Mr Chern Siang Jye, Assistant Chief Executive Officer of the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), and moderated by Mr Paul Tan, CEO of Community Foundation of Singapore (CFS), the conversation explored an important question:

How can we help Singaporeans age not only with care, but also with dignity, connection and purpose?

As Singapore continues to age, meeting the needs of seniors goes beyond providing essential healthcare and support. Social connection, autonomy, meaningful engagement and a sense of belonging are equally important to helping seniors live well.

The discussion also highlighted the role that philanthropy, community partners, businesses and care organisations can play together — supporting new ideas, addressing gaps and creating opportunities for seniors to remain active and connected to the communities around them.

At the Society for the Aged Sick, this resonates deeply with our commitment to providing compassionate, person-centred care that supports not just the physical needs of our residents, but their overall well-being and quality of life.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation and to exchange perspectives with partners who share a common vision for a more inclusive and age-friendly Singapore.

Thank you to CFS for bringing together different voices and perspectives through ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026.

With the worsening haze this week, how are we keeping our residents safe?

SAS was featured on Frontline 前线追踪 to share our haze response plans.

Our CEO, Timothy Liu, addressed key concerns: What should we do if haze conditions escalate? And how are our seniors coping so far?

Frontline also spoke with two of our residents, Mr Koo and Mdm Chua, to hear their experience firsthand. Watch the full episode here:

烟霾来袭，年长者该怎么保护自己？有人减少外出，有人戴上口罩，但你戴的口罩真的能挡住烟霾吗？疫情期间留下来的口罩如果已经过期，还能继续用...

With the help of Dharma Drum Singapore, our residents were able to complete the Vesak ritual of the bathing of the Buddha ceremony. Thank you all so much for coming together with patience and great organisation, to help our residents.

Regardless of whether they were on wheelchair or bed-bound, all our buddhist residents were able to take part in the ceremony.

The ceremony was conducted belatedly and we are so grateful to have 法鼓山新加坡护法会' support.
