It’s easy to pay lip service, but the boss of a local chicken rice shop is putting his money where his mouth is.
To date, OK Chicken Rice has delivered 1,180 free meals to healthcare workers and volunteers, including those from National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) and Singapore General Hospital (SGH). And they’ve got thousands more packets scheduled to be delivered to SGH in the coming weeks.
All this, despite continuing to suffer losses monthly, boss Daniel Tan, 40, told AsiaOne.
The Ang Mo Kio chicken rice joint kicked off the initiative, Campaign Cheer Up, on Feb 10, calling for donations from members of the public to defray the costs of free meals provided to those in the frontline of the coronavirus outbreak.
Their Facebook post read: “We wish to thank our medical team working at the front lines especially in these trying times by organising a ‘cheer-up’ campaign for them! Join us by sponsoring $3 for each package that we deliver to them!”
Each donation of $3 went towards defraying the cost of a packet of chicken rice (usually priced at $5.90).
