The Festive Cheers programme today is one of our CDC's 52 initiatives to connect the community. I urge more businesses to come forward to do good with us in the community. And I thank steadfast partners like Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, who have been serving with us, year after year, with such passion and sincerity."

Mr Melvin Yong, Grassroots Adviser to Radin Mas SMC Grassroots Organisations, event hosts Ms Denise Phua, Ms Wee Wei Ling, Executive Director of Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant and Mr Damian Tan, General Manager of PARKROYAL on Beach Road hosted the residents.
