When businessman Lai Chong Haur, 51, quit the corporate world to take over the Seven Tea One social enterprise from his co-founder in 2018, he knew he would not regret it.
In fact, he had also been using his own funds to keep the organisation afloat since the pandemic hit.
A set-up for people with special needs, the social enterprise employs and trains differently abled teenagers and the marginalised to earn an income in a non-discriminatory work environment.
