This is a membership card for Khe Bong Community Centre Qigong Shi Ba Shi Club issued by the People’s Association (PA). PA was a statutory board that aimed to foster social cohesion in Singapore. During the 1980s and 1990s, in response to Singapore’s ageing population, PA implemented several initiatives to encourage senior citizens to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. This included increasing the number of Senior Citizens’ Clubs in community centres, along with activity-specific clubs such as the Qigong Club that promoted exercise.
