Coming back to the original topic, elderly people should be kept engaged, so they don't have time coming together to gossip.
Besides joining the Clubs in Punggol for board games to keep them alert, they should be involved with visits, short tours and other activities organised by Punggol grass-root organisations.
Hopefully, our Senior Citizen Club can organised daily programs for the elders. Daily morning exercises, tea sessions with some programs in the afternoon. ( more or less similar to day care )
At the moment, most clubs only operate a few hours per week in the evenings.
