A walking trail that winds through the Bedok neighbourhood of Kampong Chai Chee has been launched by the Health Promotion Board (HPB), to encourage elderly residents to exercise more.
It was launched on Sunday morning by Mr Lee Yi Shyan, grassroots advisor to East Coast GRC.
The trail is right at their doopstep, and connects neighbourhood facilities such as a food centre, school and playground.
The aim is to encourage seniors to make exercise part of their daily routine.
