“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who touched our lives, to parents who stood by us, supporting us no matter what, and teachers who instilled in us a passion for learning. To scholars, I encourage you to volunteer and give back to the community. You can start by volunteering in the Tan Chin Tuan events catered to young children and elderly.”
