5. Chairman’s Message
I discovered an interesting fact recently about something I thought I knew all about – apples.
The apple is a fruit that is frequently associated with ex-offenders with the analogy of the
rotten apple one that is often used to characterise them. However, I learnt that if you cut an
apple sideways, you see that the core is actually formed in the shape of a star – so even a
rotten apple has a star inside it waiting to come out.
Another eventful year has passed and For the year in review, more than sors for their generous sponsorships

Singapore Island Country Club - May Day Donation
The Singapore Island Country Club’s May Day Charity Open grew from humble beginnings
in 1972 and has become a popular, long standing tradition of the Club. This annual charity
drive brings together members, corporations, businesspeople, staff and supporters to
contribute to the lives of the less fortunate.
Since its inception, the event has raised $14 million for over 70 charities, earning the Club
its most prized accolade, “The Club with a Heart”. What started out as a charity golf game
has now grown into a Club-wide effort by the various sporting and lifestyle communities
to raise funds for the needy and underprivileged in a concerted, yet diverse effort.
The happiness and appreciation shown by the beneficiaries with these donations cannot
be described in words. This has been made possible by the tireless efforts of staff and
volunteers and importantly, the abundance of very generous donations.
In 2009, SICC raised an admirable amount whereby 14 charities were chosen as
beneficiaries. SACA is pleased to be one of the recipients.

Charity Film Premiere - State of Play
620 movie-goers enjoyed an evening at the cinema despite the double trouble of the
economic gloom and flu outbreak. State of Play, a political thriller starring Russell Crowe
and Ben Affleck certainly “put journalism and politics in a different perspective,” as our
guest-of-honour Mr. Lim Boon Heng (Minister, Prime Minister’s office) remarked in the
lift on his way out of Cathay Cineleisure after enjoying the movie.
Mr. Jeffrey Beh, Chairman of SACA, highlighted in his speech that “due to troubled
times the economy is currently facing, voluntary welfare organizations are painfully
feeling its effects. There is nothing to do other than to accept the
challenge placed before us and strive to do our best to meet the ever
growing needs of those who require some assistance to get by.”
Our supporters went against the downward pull of the economy and
helped us raise a record $111,400.

Running into Prison
This inaugural fun run organised by the Yellow Ribbon Project saw
participants run past historical sites such as the Johor Battery, Changi
Chapel Museum, Old Changi Prison Wall and into the prison ground itself!
Curious participants were intrigued to see the mock-up prison cell that
was set up. Hanniel Choong, an ex-offender who took part and outpaced
many in the race, demonstrated his determination to outrun his drug
abusing past. This was an inspiration to many inmates. On site, there were
amusements to enjoy such as street magicians, free ice-cream and stage
performances by ex-offenders. The public gained a new perspective “in
prison”. We also participated with an information booth with the objective
of building awareness and recruiting new volunteers.

Experiencing a Black Out
“When there is a black out, bring out the light.” This is the motto of a group of do-gooders, mainly
business professionals who are the best of friends. The organisers teamed up with us for the one-
night BLACKOUT event at Mt Emily; funds raised were channeled to the Education Fund to support
ex-offenders' reintegration into society through education.
The organizers of Blackout@Emily felt that incarceration is akin to experiencing a ‘blackout’. Can a
life that has gone through a blackout re-adjust and reintegrate into society? Can a person who is
here but really away for years get back on the right track? Can a person regain his confidence and
self-esteem and walk out of his own darkness? Where is the real blackout? BLACKOUT celebrates
the simple gesture of reaching out to light a candle in the dark - just when it is needed most.
Tery Chua, a trainer with Right Impact Training, who is the leader of the organising committee hopes
that through BLACKOUT they can support the assimilation of ex-offenders into society, and bring
greater awareness to young professionals regarding SACA and the work it does.

MHA Visits SACA
Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Senior Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Home
Affairs visited SACA in August 09. The objective of the visit was to find out more
about the service gaps in the community faced by ex-offenders. After spending
an afternoon understanding our services, Mr Masagos expressed interest in
meeting up with the students who had benefited from the Education Support
Program (ESP), a service that provides funding, support networks and workshops
to motivate student-clients who are enthusiastic about upgrading their skills and
continuing their learning.
Seven students who are currently pursuing diplomas in various polytechnics
met the Senior Parliamentary Secretary in September. It was a fruitful session
with informal dialogue and interactions between our esteemed guest and the
students. The students felt comfortable to openly share their thoughts, and our
guest enjoyed listening to their ideas. Both sides had such an enjoyable time, it
was difficult to say goodbye!

Prisons Counsellors and CNB drops in
16 in-care prison counsellors and representatives from the Central
Narcotic Bureau paid a visit to get a better understanding of the
services offered at aftercare organisations. The members, who work
with drug & inhalant abusers as well as long-term offenders, found
this visit helpful and of much relevance to their work in prison.

Gaining Self and Esteem
Our first workshop focused on building confidence and self-esteem.
This was an important topic to kick off the New Year, as we believe
with confidence and high self-esteem one is less likely to give in to
peer pressure and negative influences. It was also an opportunity
to introduce the freshmen to their seniors in the support group,
resulting in positive relationships. Guest speaker, Mr Jonathan Lee
worked with the students on how having self-esteem works to their
advantage in their everyday lives.
