Mr Heng noted that, “It’s a very meaningful event, delivering the bento sets and care bags to our seniors. I also want to emphasise that this is not a one-time act. In fact, I know that the relationship between SMOU and the community at the Jalan Besar area has actually been on since they moved into this area in 2003. As COVID-19 struck the world last year, the normal way of living and interacting has been turned upside down. It is true that the ways in which people who need help or are receiving help have been disrupted. At the same time, people who need help, such as the elderly, probably need more help in this situation because they are more vulnerable. So it is precisely because of this that efforts such as this by SMOU are particularly meaningful.”
