Cedric led a government-supported national private-people partnership to help tens of thousands of migrant guest workers, homeless and vulnerable children, youth, women, and families during Singapore’s Bicentennial (2019) and Covid-19 epidemic. As chairman of the Migrant Workers Ministry Alliance (MWMA) and citizen initiator-founder of the award-winning Project Providence (President’s award 2020; NVPC), he mobilized the tri-sector for humanitarian disaster relief in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Malaysia.
