Jamus Lim returns blessing by donating blood when he can
“When my sister was a young child, she had a health scare, which necessitated a blood transfusion,” Associate Professor Lim recounted.
Fortunately, she received one without difficulty and went on to lead a healthy life.

However, memories of the health scare stuck with the Lim family.
As a result, Prof Lim explained that he tries to “return the blessing” in a small way by occasionally donating blood.
On 14 Nov, the Singapore Red Cross organised a walk-in donation drive at the Sengkang Community Club (CC).
Prof Lim stopped by the donation drive after his weekly estate walk to donate blood.

Jamus Lim says blood donation may save a life
The Sengkang MP also encouraged healthy people to sign up or show up for a blood donation drive.
It takes a little bit of time and may be a wee bit uncomfortable, but you may potentially save a life.
