Let them learn the principles of life, such as respect, filial piety, sharing and commitment. At the meantime, helping more needy people receive help and feel the care and respect from the society.
We cannot determine the lifespan, but we can determine its width and make it more meaningful. We should change and improve ourselves at every moment, every occurrence, every experience and every bottleneck of the life, so as to make ourselves distinctive from others and benefit the people around us .”
Guest of Honour, Mr. Lee Hong Chuang BBM shared that, ” Today we commend the energy of the new generation because they can bring infinite possibilities for the future. From them, we have a set of beautiful vocabulary, “young, passionate, loving hearted, sunny…”, fueled with endless positive energy of a country’s future. They are the people who inherited from their predecessors and look to the future. On their shoulders, they carry on the human civilization to a better tomorrow.
What love needs is the synergy of kindness, the strive for the brilliant future, and the faith in all future possibilities. Today we are gathered here, with a tender heart and a determined choice. And we will certainly see a more prosperous future in these young faces.
Since 1901, Sian Chay Medical Institution has been serving the community and helping the needy people with the spirit of charity. The five core values, “Forgiveness, Universal Love, Compassion, Gratitude and Blessing” are the guiding spirit of love for Sian Chay. Gratitude to Sian Chay Medical Institution for its dedication to the society.”
