SINGAPORE — A total of S$265,000 was raised during the inaugural Tasek Sailors Charity Football fundraiser held at Lion City Sailors Training Centre on Sunday, Jun 25, with Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam gracing the event alongside members of parliament, Tin Pei Ling and Shawn Huang.
“It’s wonderful to see such strong support for the Tasek Sailors initiative. It’s part of how we must help everyone discover their strengths, including the talents they never knew they had, and to gain respect for each other’s strengths. Sports brings that out in so many of the young people we have been working with,” said Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who is also patron of Tasek Jurong.
“We’ve already seen the effect that our programme has had and we’re excited to see how much we can further the development of girls. There are several girls under the Tasek umbrella who are looking forward to the programme being set in motion, and we also witnessed in the girls’ tournament today that we are not short on talent either. It will be fantastic to see just what more Singaporean girls can do with more structured support,” shared Dr Ain.
