It is a distinct honour for me to once again join the Singapore Women's Association for their Charity Fundraising Gala Dinner – the 49th this year.

As our nation navigates a changing and increasingly challenging world, SWA's unwavering dedication to empowering women, children, and seniors remains a vital pillar of our community, integral to further strengthening our social compact.

Your initiatives not only provide immediate assistance but also build greater resilience for families, aligning seamlessly with Singapore's national priorities.

My sincere appreciation to SWA's board, volunteers, and generous donors for your tireless efforts in building a more inclusive and caring Singapore for all.
