The East Coast Chingay is held once every 2 years and the chingay floats carrying the 5 Advisors normally starts from Changi Simei constituency and then travel down to Siglap, Kampong Chai Chee, Fengshan and ends at Bedok. It is a colourful event and many residents come down to enjoy the festivity which ended with fireworks.
During this year's East Coast Chingay, the Advisors launched the "MobileME" initiative. Advisor Maliki was given 100 motorised wheelchairs (MW) by a sponsor and he in turn gave 20 MW to each constituency in East Coast. This is to enable 100 of our EC residents (who have mobility issues and not able to walk) to have a new lease of life i.e. to be able to move easier with their new motorised wheelchairs and to connect back with the community.
The recipients of the motorised wheelchairs were very happy to receive their MW from their respective Advisors at Siglap CC. This "MobileME" initiative ties in well with the East Coast Plan "Care Pillar". We are fortunate that our Advisors continue to work tirelessly to inculcate a community of care and "gotong royong" spirit for our residents in the East Coast.
