SASCO Cafe, located at Khatib, is a cafe run by senior citizens.
A spokesperson for SASCO told Mothership that the cafe is part of a programme by SASCO@Khatib Senior Activity Centre.
It offers residents aged 55 and above an opportunity to "contribute back to the community" and aims to give them a sense of purpose.
Seniors who serve at the cafe are paid an allowance and undergo training such as food safety and barista coffee making courses.
Some of their duties include brewing coffee and serving customers.
