This year\u2019s gift of S$250,000 from Mapletree seeks to recognise the healthcare workers\u2019 selfless service during the global health crisis and alleviate their stress in providing for their children\u2019s education needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 34 recipients in 2023 \u2013 selected from more than 50 applicants for the education awards \u2013 will benefit from the awards when pursuing courses offered by local Institutes of Higher Learning, including ITEs, Polytechnics and local Universities. Together with Mapletree representatives, they attended the award ceremony at SingHealth Tower on 21 July 2023. The awards will continue to support more students in 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Edmund Cheng, Mapletree Chairman, said: \u201cOn behalf of Mapletree, we express our gratitude to healthcare workers who soldiered against the global health emergency for more than two years. We understand the challenges presented by the pandemic and specifically to lower-income households with healthcare workers. As an active contributor to the education landscape in Singapore and in line with the Group\u2019s CSR framework, Mapletree aims to uplift the quality of education for children of these healthcare workers from SGH. We believe the donation will inspire the recipients to discover new horizons.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply touched by Mapletree\u2019s generous donation. Their recognition and appreciation of our colleagues, coupled with their generosity and thoughtfulness in extending support to the children of our staff, will truly uplift them and make a lasting impact,\u201d said Professor Kenneth Kwek, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore General Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very thankful to be given this education award, so my daughter can pursue a quality education and a course she is passionate about. Your kindness and generosity has enabled us to create a better future with a renewed sense of security,\u201d said Mdm&nbsp;Siti Juhana Manadu, Senior Patient Service Associate, Specialist Outpatient Clinic, Singapore General Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open for application from 30 March to 12 May 2023, the eligibility criteria include per capita household income, children\u2019s academic results, staff\u2019s length of service and whether they are recipients of other financial assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mapletree\u2019s donation was made towards MedSG200, an initiative by SingHealth to commemorate 200 years of medicine in Singapore in conjunction with SGH\u2019s bicentennial. SGH is Singapore\u2019s first public healthcare institution and the first acute care hospital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2024\/12\/edu-award-cheque-presentation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\" style=\"width:450px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-cheque-presentation.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=1 450w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-cheque-presentation.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.5 225w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-cheque-presentation.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.25 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Professor Kenneth Kwek, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore General Hospital and Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman, Mapletree Investments (right) at the award ceremony at SingHealth Tower on 21 July 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2024\/12\/edu-award-appre-token.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-appre-token.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=1 450w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-appre-token.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.5 225w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-appre-token.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.25 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Professor Kenneth Kwek, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore General Hospital presenting a token of appreciation to Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman, Mapletree Investments (right).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2024\/12\/edu-award-bachelor-siti-juhana.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-bachelor-siti-juhana.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=1 450w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-bachelor-siti-juhana.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.5 225w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/11\/2024\/12\/edu-award-bachelor-siti-juhana.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;zoom=0.25 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>(From left) Mdm Siti Juhana Manadu, Senior Patient Service Associate, Specialist Outpatient Clinic, Singapore General Hospital and her daughter Ms Nur Syahirah Bte Abdul Rahim receiving the award from Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman, Mapletree Investments.
