ZapIn Singapore, cases of individuals dying alone in their homes and being discovered only after an extended period have become an area of concern. These incidents often involve elderly residents or individuals living in isolation, with neighbours or authorities alerted by odours, uncollected mail, or inactivity. | |||
Several documented cases highlight the issue of social isolation in an urbanised and ageing society. Efforts by the government, social organisations, and grassroots initiatives aim to address this, focusing on fostering stronger community ties and implementing welfare checks. Technological solutions, such as emergency alert devices and senior-friendly housing designs, are also being adopted. | Several documented cases highlight the issue of social isolation in an urbanised and ageing society.
