The event attracted more than 750 participants. The event raised $10,000 for the medical fund.

Eventually, the sun emerged, enhancing the overall success of the event.

A Legacy Project - Presentation of an AED

LCGTM presented an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the Thean Oon Senior Home. The Home, which started in 2021, provides care and services for seniors in our community. Currently, there are 90 residents with 15 staff running the Home. This is one of our legacy projects this year; a part of the Club’s commitment to supporting seniors and promoting cardiac health. The AED will make a significant difference in the lives of our elderly residents.

The Club is grateful to the Lions Club of Serdang for their generous contribution and for making this a joint project that bears half the cost.

Congratulations to the Organising Committee headed by PP May Cheah for making this project successful.
