From his facebook
We have launched an initiative known as the Clean Care-adult diapers' program. We visited Blk 621A & 621B, Edgefield Walk and Blk 182, Rivervale Crescent this afternoon to deliver adult diapers to the disabled who are either bed ridden or on wheelchair etc. We are extremely thankful to our sponsor - Mr Teng Teck Leong of Ms. Poli Pte Ltd, who has pledged to us that his company will continue to supply the adult diapers to our beneficiaries on a monthly basis. To date, six families have benefited from this program but we hope that even more needy families will stand to benefit from our Clean Care-adult diapers' program. If you would like to join Mr Teng to contribute to our adult diapers program, kindly contact us via Facebook private message platform or email me at limbakchuandesmond@yahoo.com.sg Thank you.

Returning to society comes in many forms, so I won't generally rate whoever just because they 'appeared' to be doing lesser than another.
Some ppl will go public on what they do, while there are also those who do it stealth like. They are also those who do things in other forms that not everyone sees as returning to society. So to each his own. If many of us do our little bits, the society will be a better place already. |

18 hrs Following up actions for the unit that caught fire last week which located at Blk 110, Pasir Ris Street 11. Painters were on site early morning to commence works. We hope our actions will encourage more neighbors in the vicinity to join us to help the affected family and upkeep the kampung spirit. 今天早上,工人很早就到了被火烧到组屋单位开始清理和油漆整个单位。希望我们的行动可以鼓励更多的邻居守望 相助,保持柑榜精神。 Last edited by richardg; 06-04-2016 at 07:46 AM. |

Wow can rally so many people, impressed.
But he needs to improve his public image too. Once saw him smoking at an eatery. I know smoking is a personal choice but for "public figure" there are certain compromise to make, higher standard to uphold. |

This time round, CSJ seems to be focussing on "welfare".
== ST reported: "Middle-aged executives hardest hit by layoffs; seen as too costly to retain, too old to hire". The struggles of this group of executives are real. Very often this is the age where the loss of income hits the hardest as the executive has to bear the burden of caring for elderly parents whilst providing for their children still schooling. The SDP is acutely aware of the scale of this problem as we meet people affected by retrenchment - more regularly then we woul...

She rents her room out to a foreign worker and sleeps in the hall. She tells us she survives on the rent of $500 she collects. “If no rent, no money lah” she says, “government no help.” She mentioned she had once approached Halimah Yacob for assistance. “But talk, talk no help.” Mdm Veeramah is just one of the many residents living in poverty in Bukit Batok, indeed throughout Singapore. I find it hard to accept that in a country that boasts of the most number billionaires and millionaires per capita, we still see such poverty in our midst. Help me get into Parliament to speak up for them, for us. #NowIsTheTime ===== I met a couple yesterday while distributing grocery packs to low-income families. They had four children, the eldest was in Sec 2. All six squeezed into the rental studio flat the size of an HDB living room with a tiny toilet crammed in (no bedrooms). Mattresses strewn on the floor passed for beds with little else as furnishings. They have been trying to apply for an HDB flat but cannot afford the down-payment because of their low incomes. The father said that he had appeale... See more ====== |
