“While I was delivering the food, I saw volunteers from many different organisations going around the block as well. It really surprised me. I've never seen this side to Singapore, and I'm proud to be one of them as well.” — Rahim Bin Abu Bakar
Rahim used to work as a limousine driver for DBS Asia Treasures ferrying VIP clients from airport to home. But he could no longer do his job when travel ceased due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
When the #DBSStrongerTogetherFund was launched, DBS invited him to help deliver meals to those in need — a job he readily took up. Not only was he able to earn some income, it felt really good to help others, he says.
