MWS Uncommon Dialogue: Tackling the Mental Health Crisis in a Super-Aged Singapore
4 October 2024
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
As Singapore approaches super-aged status by 2026 – with over one in five residents aged 65 and above – MWS convened its second edition of Uncommon Dialogue to address the mental health crisis in ageing.
More than 120 guests, including donors, corporate leaders, and church representatives, attended the event featuring expert panellists Professor Kua Ee Heok (Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, National University of Singapore), Dr Ng Wai Chong (Founder-CEO, NWC Longevity Practice), and Dr Raymond Leong (MWS Group Director of Healthcare Services). Discussions centred on ageing’s impact on mental well-being, the mind-body connection, and the role of preventive, non-drug approaches such as art therapy, music reminiscence, and gardening in safeguarding against mental health issues.
Christopher Tan, CEO of Providend, also delivered a poignant message on the true meaning of legacy and the intentional steps we can take to build it. As a closing note, Eugene Toh, Chairperson of MWS Board of Governance, outlined the organisation’s three-pronged approach to supporting seniors: working with the government, refining senior care programmes, and rallying stakeholders to support holistic ageing.

Donors Speak
Uplifting Souls with the Gift of Beauty
“We’ve been long-time supporters of MWS. Most recently, we contributed to enable beneficiaries, volunteers, and staff to enjoy exhibitions at Gardens by the Bay. We support such trips because we believe that beauty – whether found in nature or the arts – has the power to uplift the soul and bring joy. Through these experiences, we hope to remind them that they are deeply valued and cherished.”
