SUMMARY:SYMPOSIUM: LEAVING A LIVING LEGACY
DESCRIPTION:Singapore’s rapidly ageing society faces a critical gap in proactive legacy planning. Many families are unsure where to begin, unaware of the lasting impact such planning can have, or find it difficult to navigate the available resources. Common challenges include low awareness of its significance, confusion over where to seek help, and communication barriers between generations—particularly when discussing sensitive issues like end-of-life care, values, and financial arrangements.\nTo address these gaps, Silver Caregivers Co-operative Limited is organising “Leaving A Living Legacy: Plan Today, Thrive Tomorrow” — a symposium designed to guide families in starting their legacy planning journey. Through expert talks, practical insights, and real-life experiences, this event aims to raise awareness, clarify pathways to support, and empower families—especially those in the sandwich generation—to initiate meaningful conversations and take action with clarity and confidence\nGUEST-OF-HONOUR\n\nMadam Halimah Yacob,\nChancellor of the Singapore University of Social Sciences\nFormer President of the Republic of Singapore\nTOPICS COVERED\n\n\nPower and Importance of Legacy Planning\nA/P Thang Leng Leng, Head, Department of Japanese Studies; Co-Director, Next Age Institute, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore\nLegacy Planning in Action\nMr. Norhakim Md Shah, PEGUAM\n\nMaking an Advance Care Plan: What You Should Know\nDr Adeline Lam, Senior Consultant, Tan Tock Seng Hospital\nTalking About the Future: How to have Meaningful Legacy Conversations\nA/P Edward Poon, Deputy Cluster Director, Health and Social Sciences Department, Singapore Institute of Technology\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\n Seniors – both young-old and mature generations\n Adult children and children-in-law\n Family & Professional caregivers\n Allied health professionals\n Gerontology students\n Anyone who cares about legacy planning and intergenerational well-being\n\nREGISTRATION DETAILS\nTo register, please scan the QR code, or, use our form located here:\n\n[https://tinyurl.com/SCCLsymposium2025]\n\n Please note that a registration fee of $20 is applicable, and refreshments will be provided.\nYou are encouraged to BYOB (bring your own water bottle) as we support sustainability!\nNo refund requests will be entertained.\n\n \n
