People Of Good

People Who Care, and Act For Others

Little acts, when multiplied by millions, can make a world of difference towards Singapore becoming the City of Good.

All of us were born to be good, and to do good. If our mindsets shift toward being more other-centred, we will realise that every person matters and each one of us can make a difference to others in so many ways, large and small. 

Together, let us become the #CityofGood!
