Jamus Lim donates blood at Sengkang donation drive, inspired by sister needing blood transfusion as a child

MP Jamus Lim gives blood at Sengkang donation drive, urges others to do the same

Sengkang Member of Parliament (MP) Jamus Lim donated blood at a Singapore Red Cross donation drive yesterday (14 Nov), drawing inspiration from his sister, who required a blood transfusion as a child.

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.

He thanked the volunteers and staff for serving at the drive.

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.

Although the weekend drive in Sengkang had already ended, he urged donors to keep an eye out for future events.
