Contributions Of NYAA Award Recipients

During The COVID-19 Pandemic In 2020

Donation Of Masks And Medical Items

Mr Roddy Mu, Managing Director, Wanhe International

cohort), was the first Singaporean to donate 1.8 tons
of medical items to Harbin First Hospital.

was overcrowded and delayed as there were few
flights departing to China. However, with the
assistance of NYAA and the Ministry of Finance, the
shipment arrangement and customs clearance was
expedited. As a result, Roddy successfully sent the
medical items to Harbin on 28 February 2020. The
Honourable Mayor of Harbin City was very grateful to
the NYAA and Singapore for the kind assistance.

In return for NYAA’s help in February during the
lockdown in China, Harbin returned its favour by
donating more than 300,000 masks to Singapore in
April 2020, when the production of masks in China Appreciation letter from the Mayor of

the masks in an efficient assembly line at ITE College
East for distribution to the needy in our community
and schools.
