    In a super-aged Singapore society, we must learn to differentiate independence from dignity (opens the original)

    The test is if we protect older people’s voices when autonomy starts to fade ON WEEKDAY mornings, Singapore’s markets and hawker centres fill with older people. Some of them move slowly. Others sit in wheelchairs beside domestic helpers, watching the world go by. It is an ordinary scene. But it raises a question most families would rather postpone: Who decides how we live when we can no longer decide for ourselves? The change rarely arrives all at once. A child starts managing appointments. A sp

    Sustainability begins with learning to repair (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Singapore’s circular economy cannot be sustained by recycling alone when consumption keeps rising A HINGE on our kitchen toaster broke recently. The heating elements still worked perfectly – it toasted bread as well as it always had. Only a small part holding the casing together had failed. My first instinct was to repair it. Surely replacing a hinge could not be that difficult. I soon discovered otherwise. Finding someone willing to repair a small household appliance was surprisingly hard. Spar

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In a world that equates busyness with success, true clarity often requires the one thing we avoid: silence THERE comes a stage in life when silence no longer feels empty. It feels necessary. That has been one of the quiet surprises of my first month of retirement. Silence is not loneliness. Not withdrawal. Not weariness with the world. But solitude – the deliberate choice to spend time with oneself in order to think more clearly and live more deliberately. For decades, my days were defined by me

    The Fifa red card fiasco is a mirror for governance (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When the world’s governing body for football appears willing to reinterpret its own rules, the issue extends far beyond sport FOOTBALL is often called the world’s game because its rules are universal. From a dusty village pitch to a World Cup final, players enter the game believing the same laws apply to everyone. Referees may err, fortunes may swing on a deflection or a dubious offside call, but the integrity of the contest rests on a simple assumption: The rules are established before the matc
