With the prospect of 1 in 5 of the population being aged 65 years and above in Singapore by 2030, it is necessary that buildings are made barrier-free and user-friendly. But it seems one constituency is doing the exact opposite.
According to an online forum, barriers have been constructed in the covered walkway in Block 100, Bedok North Ave 4.
Workers’ Party had in the past asked in Parliament how inclusive our society is. It pointed out that many older buildings are not barrier-free and so remain inaccessible to persons with disabilities.
