Mr Chua

Mr Chua, 74, is a retired mechanical engineering supervisor and a proud grandfather of five. After retiring at 63, he discovered Kaki Kampong Seniors Wellness (KKSW) through friends.

 

He particularly enjoys the singing sessions and talks at our Happy Hour programme. He also loves joining our outings to attractions like Bird Paradise and Changi Airport, which lets him explore Singapore and share experiences with fellow seniors.

He sees participating at KKSW as a privilege, especially for those who are homebound. He often reaches out to lonely seniors in the community, inviting them to join KKSW activities because he believes that social connection is important for their well-being. As a volunteer, he also performed with our choral and ukulele groups to bring joy to the residents of St Andrew’s Nursing Home.

Mr Chua’s appreciation for KKSW grew even more when he was ill with COVID-19. When he was feeling breathless, our staff and volunteers visited him. Recalling the incident, he said he was touched by their extraordinary care and support!
