ROLE AS A MAYOR
I am honoured to be the mayor of Central Singapore Community Development Council.
Aligned with CDC’s vision, I am passionate about aggregating the needs of our community, building capabilities in partners and networks and connecting with communities. The ABCs of our CDC are what drive us to do what we do.
As I helm Central Singapore CDC, I, together with my teammates, envision to build a Do-Good District to support our residents to live The Better Life. Five key pillars include:
Financial wellness
Physical wellness
Socio-emotional wellness and inclusiveness
Lifelong learning
Service to others
Each post in this section documents just some of the many activities my team and I carry out, aligned with our five key pillars.

Every home matters. Every senior counts. We can’t cover all, but we can cover as many as we can by working with as many willing and available ground partners in the district we are given. This is why we do what we do.

“The "cliff effect" is not inevitable, and by creating a continuum of support models across living, learning, and working, we can shift families from a place of helplessness to a place of hope.”
