<\/p>\nThe STRAITS TIMES\u00a0reported that experts were participating in a discussion on “Aging-in-place:how prepared are we?” held at the National University of Singapore on 9 October , 2012. A\/P Chia Ngee\u00a0Choon\u00a0claimed that the Government should allow the elderly to sublet part or all of their flats, while A\/P Paulin\u00a0Straughan\u00a0preferred giving the elderly the option of moving into retirement villages. Meanwhile,\u00a0A\/P Angelique Chan put emphasis on the importance of medical conditions, as good medical conditions help the elderly to keep fit in their sunset years. In opening the\u00a0session, Dr Amy Khor, Minister of State for Health and Manpower, put forward the “4Ps”–philosophy, physical environment, policies, and people, among which the last “P” is the most important, because Singaporeans’ attitudes towards the elderly are closely associated with the outcomes of\u00a0public policy.<\/p>\n
