Professor Yow Wei Quin’s Commentary on Resilience During the Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday, symbolises reunion and embodies hopes for family togetherness, harmony, and happiness. Many believe that older adults are more susceptible to sadness during this time, as celebratory activities can evoke memories of lost loved ones and intensify feelings of loneliness. Even when surrounded by family, seniors may feel isolated due to the remembrance of deceased friends and relatives. With retirement or transitions to more dependent living situations, their social circles often shrink, further increasing feelings of loneliness.
Why are letters on product labels, menus so tiny? It’s time Singapore businesses embraced our seniors
My friends are more than a decade from being “aged”. While they may be more comfortable scanning QR codes to find menus or place orders, many seniors like my parents prefer the “human touch” to navigating apps. They are also the ones who would rather tolerate the long queues in banks than managing their funds on the phone.
Celebrate National Day, Cherish Our Seniors!
The National Day celebrations concluded last week, and as the entire nation rejoices, we should not only take pride in our country’s achievements but also express our gratitude to the seniors who have contributed to the nation’s development. They are the pillars of our society and the foundation of Singapore’s prosperity and stability. On this special day, let us consider how we can better care for their physical and mental well-being, ensuring they remain active in society.
Experience and Innovation goes hand in hand
Mr Wang, 55, is a senior network engineer at Singtel. He found that fixing network issues was both difficult and time-consuming. Drawing on his years of experience, he guided young engineers to create an automated alert system that uses AI to detect and resolve problems before they escalate. This system has made the network more reliable and reduced downtime. Mr Wang’s innovation not only enhanced network performance but also demonstrated how senior employees can leverage their accumulated knowledge to create significant value and help train the next generation.
Why some kids end up studying more during the school holidays
Professor Yow Wei Quin, Head of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (SINGAPORE – The mid-year school holidays are almost over, but some students in Singapore have been focusing more on academics than relaxation during their month-long break.
Tuition centres report a spike in demand for their academic “boot camps” for June for primary and secondary school students. And observers say that spending a significant portion of the holiday period, which ends on June 23, on studies is commonplace in Singapore, which risks fatigue and burnout for kids.
However, some children and parents report satisfaction with the youngster’s goals, motivation and packed holiday schedule.
HASS) at SUTD says: “Overscheduling can occur when a child’s holiday is filled with too many structured activities, leaving little to no time for rest, play or unstructured time. This can lead to stress, burnout and a lack of opportunities for creativity and self-directed learning.”
The dynamics of healthy aging
Imagine how wonderful it would be if every senior was filled with the energy and curiosity of young people! In Singapore, we are creating a reality where seniors not only live longer, but also live more fulfilling and meaningful lives. Through psychological research and carefully designed activities, we are helping seniors maintain their zest for life.
Innovation without age limits
Professor Yow Wei Quin, Head of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at SUTD, writes about recent studies challenging the notion that older adults are inherently less creative or innovative than their younger counterparts.
Advantages of Early Bilingualism
As individuals age, both their bodies and brains undergo changes. Certain brain regions shrink, and the communication between neurons becomes less efficient. According to Professor Yow Wei Quin from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), these structural and functional changes contribute to an age-related decline in cognitive function, affecting language, processing speed, memory, and planning abilities.
Economies take off with new airports: Research shows positive impacts of airport investments
Be it for work or vacation, chances are that many will have passed through an airport. In the largest cities, the airport presents to travelers the first glimpse of a new land and a reflection of the surrounding city. Beyond first impressions, airports stand as an important economic hub for local policymakers, with a continuous flow of goods and passengers fueling the urban economy.
