Improving myENV App Accessibility Through Multilingual Features and Age-appropriate Formats

Mr David Hoe asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether the Ministry will consider enhancing the myENV app and related advisory materials by introducing more multilingual features and age-appropriate formats, including for Heat Stress Advisories so that such information is more accessible to seniors, children and households that are less English-proficient; and (b) if so, by when.

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: We thank the Member for the suggestion. The myENV application currently shows the prevailing heat stress levels and the heat stress advisory in English. In subsequent updates, we will incorporate features and formats to improve usability for users of different demographic groups. We will also consider introducing multilingual features to improve the application's accessibility.
