2021-07-02 12:11:05 Tuan Ngap Eng, who’s in her 80's, has been in the hawker business for 65 years, and is a familiar sight at Amoy Food Centre.

Before the heightened restrictions, she used to cook up to 10 chickens a day at her stall Xiang Xiang Hainanese Chicken Rice, and now prepares just five a day, sharing any remaining dishes with the workers around her.

Her husband has also been in the hospital for the past three months in a coma, exacerbating her financial strain.

She is one of the hawkers located in central Singapore that Makansutra Singapore and DBS are supporting with bulk buys. The food is then distributed to those who could do with a good meal, including hospital front-liners, delivery drivers and those in need in our community.

When settling your meals this weekend, let’s spare a thought and trip for hawkers who might be “unwired” and not on delivery platforms.

Let’s see each other through this pandemic: go.dbs.com/support_hawkers

2021-06-16 12:45:55 “In two weeks, we developed a 6-week fellowship programme for children at A Place Called Home (APCH), a centre in Los Angeles that supports youths from underprivileged backgrounds, which enabled them to learn about banking, leadership concepts and skills from the department heads within DBS.

One APCH member, Kevin, was undecided about attending university at that point. After joining the programme, he reached out to me to let me know that he wanted to further his studies after all and if I could write him a recommendation letter for a scholarship. Just last week, he contacted me to say he not only got the scholarship, but that he was admitted to University of California, Berkeley, and is keen to pursue a career in banking after graduation!

It really inspired me to keep pouring into the youth and show them that each and every one of them matter. If I can encourage anyone to follow their heart to make the best decision for themselves, I view that as the ultimate win."

- Shaneka McDonald, Head of Human Resources, DBS Los Angeles

Shaneka was recently awarded the 2021 GirlPower Integrity and Leadership Award by A Place Called Home, which recognises leaders who have made a positive and lasting impact on the lives of youths from low-income neighborhoods.
