Jamus Lim & Louis Chua distribute Deepavali packages to Sengkang residents, including Indian spices

Sengkang Members of Parliament (MPs) Jamus Lim and Louis Chua both distributed gift packages to their less fortunate residents for Deepavali.

They also took the time to thank volunteers for their hard work.

Louis Chua includes special Deepavali treats in gifts for Hindu residents in Sengkang

Prof Jamus Lim participated in the distribution last Saturday (7 Nov), the eve of Deepavali. He donated “seasonal gift packs” to the less fortunate in Anchorvale.

As in prior years, the packages included muruku treats, food staples and, of course, a wide array of spices—all par for the course in the Indian kitchen.

The items were provided by Aram Living, a voluntary welfare organisation, and its donors, for which Prof. Lim expressed his thanks.

He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers activated at the last minute for helping with the “grunt work” of distributing the gifts.

Similarly, Mr Chua and his volunteers distributed essentials over the weekend, with a “special Deepavali treat” for their Hindu residents.

Neighbours stopped by for a chat at the Rivervale distribution area and supported one another.

Both of the MPs wished their residents a Happy Deepavali.

In his post, Prof Lim reminded his GRC residents about the upcoming Deepavali celebrations on 14 Nov at Block 320 Anchorvale Drive.

Additionally, he told Sengkang residents that if they wished to receive a gift pack in the future, on a needs basis, they should reach out to him to get on the distribution list.

Elsewhere, Workers’ Party (WP) Hougang MP Dennis Tan also posted about his Deepavali food and goods distribution from last weekend.

He thanked Aram Living, the WP Community Fund, and his volunteers for helping to “spread the blessings”.
