"The Singaporean who found a way for inmates, people with disabilities to help seniors
SINGAPORE: When Mr Ang Kian Peng visited a voluntary welfare organisation (VWO) in 2013, he saw what was served during mealtime: A mishmash of processed and deep-fried food, such as hot dogs and chicken nuggets.
The items were easy to cook, but he was appalled because “most of the beneficiaries are suffering from some sort of illness, so if you continue to feed them that kind of unhealthy food, you're worsening the conditions”.
Mr Ang left feeling disturbed – and determined to help them.
He was spearheading the corporate social responsibility efforts of his company, the home-grown eatery Soup Restaurant Group, and that very year, he founded Samsui Kitchen to provide healthy food for beneficiaries of nursing homes and charities.
Samsui has since grown exponentially, and not just as a subsidiary meal provider. It has evolved into a self-sustaining social enterprise that is creating jobs by engaging prison inmates and people with disabilities to prepare the meals."
Actually watched the episode on CNA n was very impressed with his work.
CNA did a great job documenting him n the other Champions for Change in the Asia region! Many astonishing feats by these champions! All creating greater good for their target audiences, beneficiaries n communities.
Sgp people can b proud of what he has accomplished her. Fr the good intention to persuading encouraging initial resistors to buy in his vision n making it a reality together!
Letting his staffs the chance to do good, the prisoners to learn a work skill n do good, n the disabled to accomplish the same!
We need more of him in Sgp. Some will say he is the "rich towkay son" n hs the resources to do good. That's true. Yet there were others with his background that did nothing. Also, there are many who hv much less that him did similar or greater good too.
So, do good as u can is the key. Whatever your backgrounds r irrelevant.
People's whose Actions that followed the Intention n creating good n positive results r ALL CHAMPIONS!!
