A plan to open over 300 cooling centres has been announced. These centres will provide relief during heatwaves. The idea of using community spaces as "heat sanctuaries" was suggested by He Ting Ru, a Workers' Party Member of Parliament, three years ago.

He Ting Ru recently celebrated this development in a social media post, noting that the idea is now reflected in policy. The cooling centres are part of a national heatwave response and will support residents who are vulnerable to extreme heat.

Further details about the cooling centres and their implementation are available from the source. The announcement has been welcomed as a positive step in providing relief during heatwaves.
