The donation can help 11,688 low-income patients, allowing them to enjoy free traditional medical consultations, medications, tuina therapy and health care services.
Sian Chay Chairman Toh Soon Huat said, “Your compassion and good deeds are not ad hoc or random. So please do not bother too much about others say. The love and support for charity from everybody also back the idea of “Compassion shares happiness and universal love shares the empathy”.
For a long period, Sian Chay has actively participated in community charity activities, promoted health awareness, and encouraged wellness activities. Sian Chay also plans to hold Chinese language classes for non-Chinese residents. The charitable activities of Sian Chay, such as arranging professional hairdressers to provide regular haircut for the elderly at the branches, inviting renowned personalities to conduct art classes for residents, distributing goodie bags and etc., have been commended and recognized by people from all walks of life.
” Forgiveness, Universal Love, Compassion, Gratitude and Blessing” are the core values of Shan Chay Medical Institution. And every Sian Chay staff is working hard to incorporate these values into the daily code of conduct. It is the beliefs of Sian Chay people that “From the Society, For the Society. Taking care of the disadvantaged groups, with money or efforts. Everyone should do their best to contribute to the charity.” Because they firmly believe that “Nation Progresses, Family Prospers; Family Harmony, Successful Endeavours. Forward with the Nation, Bonding with the People. This can make the society a better one.”
Music is the echo of the soul. Music builds a bridge of love for charity and conveys the spirit of love.
