The Purple Symphony @ Singapore Botanic Gardens

For the first time, our musicians from The Purple Symphony came together to form their own performing groups — choosing the music, shaping the experience and leading it entirely on their own terms. A community where over 100 musicians, with and without disabilities, are seen for their talent, not their challenges.

St Andrew's Autism Centre's Walk Of A Lifetime

I'm very pleased to support St Andrew's Autism Centre's Walk Of A Lifetime this morning. This is a cause looking into the affordability and accessibility of services for adults with disabilities — an identified gap in the sector. I'm glad I'm still around to see all of this.

A Slow Breakfast, A Full Memory

It was in 2009 when Tay retired and the first batch of Pathlight School graduated — a few couldn't find a workplace who would take and coach them. So we bought a small cafe and took in the first batch of special needs staff. We were taught that sometimes in life, something has to die before it can grow further.
