    Since 1959, CCs have grown from humble gathering spots to essential community hubs. Through challenges like the haze and the pandemic, CCs have provided support and connection when it mattered most. Thank you to all past and present People's Association and Community Club Management Committees (CCMC) members for making a difference in countless lives. Let’s continue bringing our community together and supporting ground-up initiatives.

  • We launched the goodFriends Network at the South West Community Job Fair @ Boon Lay today! 🎉 A new initiative by South West CDC in partnership with goodjobs.com.sg and The Social Equity, the goodFriends Network is a first-of-its-kind in the community to enhance last-mile assistance to job seekers, encouraging them to explore more job options, thereby increasing their chances of employment, in response to evolving needs of the community. Thank you to all our partners for empowering our residents to be future-ready! #southwestcdc #swcdc #southwestcommunityjobfair #goodfriendsnetwork

    Since its establishment in 1960, the People's Association has been nurturing a more caring and cohesive Singapore. Generations of grassroots leaders have served selflessly, contributing their time and efforts to solve problems on the ground, and to build stronger community bonds. At today’s PA Community Seminar, we reaffirmed our commitment to this important work. While PA’s core purpose remains unchanged, we are refreshing our approach. In particular, we will sharpen our focus on community participation. We want to involve more residents, empower them, and work with them on ground-up solutions. We want to foster a greater sense of ownership and responsibility amongst our residents. Not all will join as grassroots leaders. But we welcome everyone’s participation as community volunteers, so that together we can build a better home for all. I am confident that PA and our grassroots leaders and volunteers will continue to empower the community to turn this vision into reality. Edwin Tong SC (📸: MDDI Photos by Betty Chua)

    📹 Adopt-a-Rental-Block 2024 It is incredible every time that we get together for a good cause. ExxonMobil colleagues from across the #Singapore affiliate packed and distributed household essentials with their families and friends. In smaller groups, they went door-to-door to hand out the packs to Boon Lay residents living in rental flats. Watch highlights from our recent community activity, in partnership with the South West Community Development Council. ExxonMobil Giving #AARB2024 #givingback #community #ExxonMobilSG
