Moulmein-Cairnhill

The Krishnans and Ngs

Discover the heartwarming story of two families whose 37-year friendship embodies the everyday acts of kindness that define Singapore's spirit of harmony.

Four people wearing face masks stand together as two of them exchange a small gift bag near a home entrance.

Remember the Mothership.sg (opens in new tab) article about a Chinese woman paying respect to her Indian neighbour's deity?

The corridor looked familiar so we took a second look and realised it was in our MoCa community. The neighbours were the Krishnans and the Ngs, who have lived beside one another for 37 years!

Mr Krishnan'daughter shared the video because she wanted to show how little acts of compassion continue to happen on a daily basis in our neighbourhoods.

Our Adviser Mr Alvin Tan met up with the families to thank them for showing and reminding us who we truly are as a people, and as a country.
