SINGAPORE - Around 400 needy households in East Coast GRC will soon be receiving energy-saving light bulbs to reduce their electricity bills, as part of a collaboration between the UAE Singapore Business Council (UAESBC) and the GRC s grassroots organisations.
The programme will use $20,000 in donations - half from the UAESBC and half from the South East Community Development Council (CDC) - to purchase the light bulbs, which will be given to the households.
The UAESBC, set up in 2018, aims to promote, support and enhance the development of commerce and business initiatives between the United Arab Emirates and Singapore.
On Sunday (Dec 20), the organisation presented its cheque of $10,000 to Minister in the Prime Minister s Office Maliki Osman, who received it on behalf of the grassroots organisations.
