The government wants to integrate senior citizens and promote active ageing with the help of Seniors Activity Centres.
Foreign Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said this at a community event on Sunday morning.
He said: "Government, as a society, we want every citizen, including every senior citizen to be part and parcel of society, to really feel a valued member of society.
"For that I'm grateful to the Lions for coming in and working in partnership with the government in making lives much more meaningful."
Mr Shanmugam joined more than 1,000 senior citizens in a walk around Chong Pang Community Club.
