Mr. Chua who gave each of the senior citizens ang pow packets, had the help of a few volunteers to make this special occasion possible.
The oldest of the guest, 94-year-old, Ms. Koh was so touched by this sweet gesture that she was moved to tears. Speaking to Happy People Helping People Community, Ms. Koh revealed that the donated sum would be of aid to her living expenses.
“She told me she can use the money to buy pampers for herself and her foster mother who is already very old and sickly,” stated the Facebook post which has since gone viral.
