The residents found the services provided by Sian Chay useful, convenient and affordable. When I came to the Radin Mas SMC in 2020, I hoped to provide similar services to our Radin Mas residents. Because many of the residents are elderly or have elderly parents and grandparents. Some of them have mobility issues. So I contacted Mr. Toh from Sian Chay.

I am luckier than many people. God gave me a healthy life.” With a healthy body and the ability to make money, I hope that I can give back to society. When you help others, the happiness will have positive energy. This positive energy will also make you do things more honestly and not go astray .I also think this is accumulating merit.”

Mr. Chu Chee Keng shared: “My teacher taught me to be low-key in profile and high-key in action. This is also my life motto. After setting a goal, we must implement it resolutely, quickly and efficiently. For us, the greatest significance of doing charity is that it can not only help others, but also give oneself a sense of spiritual satisfaction, and it is also a kind of self-improvement and spiritual improvement.”

Sian Chay Medical Institution Voluntary Executive Chairman Toh Soon Huat JP shared: “I am very grateful to Mr. Kenny, Mr. Ng Swee Choon, Dr. Teo Hark Piang PBM and Mr. Chu Chee Keong PBM for their positive energy.
