Story
In collaboration with Kampung Senang Charity and Education Foundation and Tampines Residents’ Network, NUS Senior Alumni and NUS Office of Alumni Relations organised The Silver Star Gathering event for 72 senior residents of Tampines on 3 September 2022. It was a morning packed with activities including a leisurely walk around Kampung Senang garden, a sing-along session with English, Chinese, Malay and Indian songs, and a nutritious and delicious plant-based meal. Dr Koh Poh Koon (Medicine '96), Senior Minister of State for Manpower, Sustainability and the Environment, Chairperson of Tampines GRC also made a special appearance to sing with the seniors and distribute gift packs to all the senior residents in attendance. It was a meaningful morning for the 15 NUS Senior Alumni and 9 NUS Office of Alumni Relations staff as we befriended the senior residents and sang beloved classic songs with them.
