In the same spirit of appreciation, SMOU extended its SG60 celebrations to the seniors who shaped Singapore’s early years.

On 23 August, residents of NTUC Health Jurong West Nursing Home were treated to an afternoon of joy and companionship with young Tripartite Maritime Training Award (TMTA) cadets—many experiencing their first CSR activity.

Together, they played bingo, sang along to nostalgic tunes, and exchanged smiles that bridged generations.

Two days later, on 25 August, seniors from Henderson Home and NTUC Health Bukit Merah View Active Ageing Centre enjoyed an enriching excursion to the National Museum of Singapore. The “Once Upon a Tide” exhibition sparked fond memories as they reflected on Singapore’s maritime roots and progress.

The day concluded with a hearty buffet lunch at Lighthouse Bistro, where stories and laughter flowed freely—a fitting tribute to the seniors’ enduring spirit. The two most senior among the beneficiaries were recognised, while each senior received thoughtfully packed goodie bags, adding warmth to a day of celebration and remembrance.
