Sian Chay and JCI Singapore share the same faith that everyone should be equally treated with a loving heart, regardless of race or religion. Benevolent people gather together because of “benevolence”. Sian Chay sincerely appreciates the support and contribution of JCI Mandarin Singapore to its mission of providing free TCM consultation, subsidized medication and massage therapy regardless of race or religion.
With the opening of more Sian Chay branches, we will be able to help more people to alleviate pain and to promote wellness to the public. Helping an individual means helping the whole family, as each family member’s sickness will surely affect the mood of a family. Our mission is to help patients to relieve from pain and create a healthy and happy family, to build a harmonious society, which adheres to the charity spirit of Sian Chay, “ Trust, Action, Attitude, and Conduct ”.
Mr. Toh Soon Huat, Chairman of Sian Chay, promotes the 5 core values of Sian Chay. He said, “Forgiveness, Universal Love, Compassion, Gratitude and Blessing, are the codes of conduct for everyone in Sian Chay.” Sian Chay should strive for the well-being for Singaporeans, to promote the concept of “From the society, For the society” and to take care of the vulnerable groups, with effort or money. We wish everyone working together to contribute to charity cause within one’s means. Nation Progresses, Family Prospers; Family Harmony, Successful Endeavours. Forward with the Nation, Bonding with the People. This leads to a better society.
We hope that we together share Sian Chay’s charity TCM platform with more people, so that more people get to be aware of Sian Chay, to know about Sian Chay, and to make Sian Chay better and better. Let us all move forward with Sian Chay with more good deeds, more contributions to the society to benefit the public and to create a harmonious social atmosphere. We also hope that we will be able to work with more organization as JCI Mandarin Singapore, and hand-in-hand to bring more light and warmth to this world, so that our country will be more prosperous and our people will be happier!
