Everyone knows Mr S R Nathan as the former President of Singapore – but he has also done so much more behind the scenes and changed the lives of everyday people.
Mr Nathan found himself at the centre of a prank in May this year by The Hidden Good, a local social enterprise that aims to highlight the good in people.
A video of the prank shows an unsuspecting Mr Nathan, who’s led to thinking that he’s at an event to present an award to an outstanding Singaporean but the recipient turns out to be himself.
At the award ceremony, a video presentation showed interviewees sharing how Mr Nathan had selflessly changed their lives for the better.

A spokesperson for The Hidden Good said: “Today, we go beyond acknowledging him for his accomplishments. We appreciate him for not only what he has done for Singapore, but for who he is, the contributions he has made to people and the lives that he has touched.
“Sometimes, the smallest gesture to you can make a huge difference for someone else. Never underestimate the power of kindness.”
