My father: 57 years old (suffers from coronarary diseases)
My mother: 54 years old (suffers from diabetes complications)

Both benefit from both government and workplace social welfare, such as MPF, medical leave, medical compensation, as well as private medical insurance. When they recently got ill and required a surgery, they were able to afford better private medical aid and hospitals over government services despite the welfare given to them due to better service such as shorter waiting times. They have little financial burden despite the expensive surgery because they were still paid their full salary during their medical leave, another type of social welfare.

Me and my mum are benefited from the consumption voucher scheme. We know it from TV. But i don’t know whether it is a social policy or not. It is more like a campaign.

There's an elderly centre (government-funded) just downstairs of my residential building, where my grandma goes to weekly to get her workout in. Usually a session is $300, but due to her old age, it is subsidised so she only needs to pay $30 per session.
