A message from Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Patron of MEF:
“I initiated the Mediacorp Enable Fund in 2016 to bring about a caring and compassionate Singapore, or in my words, a kinder and gentler Singapore. The MEF helps persons with disabilities lead active and productive lives. Our vision is to change society’s perception of them, from seeing only their disabilities to recognising their abilities, promise and achievements.
We should value every Singaporean, whatever his abilities and station in life. Singapore’s greatest resource is our people, and we as a society must ensure that every Singaporean who can contribute is given the opportunity to do so. Most persons with disabilities, if given the opportunities and the resources, can play a meaningful part in our society.”
