A total of 200 taxis revved up from Changi Airport on 13 February 2015 for a drive to 52 homes to pay a festive visit to workers from Bizlink Centre (Bizlink), a non-profit organisation that employs disadvantaged people, especially those with disabilities.
The event, flagged off by NTUC Deputy Secretary-General (DSG) and Chairman of Advisors to National Taxi Association (NTA) Chan Chun Sing, was a joint collaboration between NTA and Bizlink.
Timely Delivery
At the workers’ homes, DSG Chan and union leaders presented the workers and their families with Lunar New Year goodie bags worth $500 each, and assisted the families to put up decorations for the upcoming festive occasion.
One of the beneficiaries was 55-year-old Madam Gan Piak Lay, a cleaner at Bizlink’s Cleaning Social Enterprise.
Madam Gan expressed her gratitude after receiving the warm greetings and presents from NTA.
NTA Executive Advisor Ang Hin Kee said the idea to celebrate Lunar New Year with workers of Bizlink was suggested by NTA taxi leaders, as they admire these workers’ traits of working hard to make a living despite the challenges they face.
