The government may be expected to be responsible in taking care of the elderly by promoting a healthy lifestyle and hence improving their quality of life. Every year, senior citizens day is celebrated in Singapore to recognise their place in the society and usually a walkathon or a sports event is being held in conjunction to the celebration. Such events are intended to involve the elderly in the country's aim of having a healthy lifestyle which not only concern the young. The well-being of the elderly in Singapore may be a priority to the government as they were once too regarded as the pillars of Singapore's progress. However, some may argue that these are the responsibility of the elderly themselves in making sure that they are in good health.
