Three of the five benefits in the Package have already taken effect – a $100 PAssion Silver Card top-up, which can be used for public transport or active ageing programmes a $200 MediSave top-up and a 5% subsidy off the MediShield Life annual premium. An estimated 500,000 Singaporeans from the Merdeka Generation will benefit from the Package. The Package will enable this generation of Singaporeans, who helped build Singapore into what it is today, to age actively and purposefully with better assurance over future healthcare costs. I am therefore glad that the Government has come up with the Merdeka Generation Package (MGP). This often meant that we had fewer opportunities and were less able to save up for our healthcare needs. Many of us made sacrifices so that our families could enjoy more comfortable lives. As a member of this generation, I remember the times when things were not so smooth sailing. The Merdeka Generation grew up amidst the uncertainty of our nation’s formative years in the 1950s and 60s. I am happy to see so many fellow Merdeka Generation members here with their families. I am pleased to join you here today at the 17 th roadshow organised for our Merdeka Generation seniors.
