Hah, these stupid Goody Feed writers. Always making mistakes in their headlines. And now they forgot to put “Don’t Say Bojio”…
Not quite, because this was a planned click-bait.
Now that we’ve gotten you to click on “Pay-As-You-Wish”, it’s time to be honest and say that this is a fundraising event for an old people’s home.
Specifically, the Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home.
That’s right. You’ve been bamboozled… kind of. Hear me out.
Fundraising By Durian Kaki
Durian Kaki, a group of young durian lovers who do durian delivery and catering services, will be starting off the durian season this Saturday evening at 6 pm.
About 400kg to 500kg of Mao Shan Wang durians will be sold at Lee Ah Moi Old Age Home. All proceeds will go to the home, and the amount collected will be announced the day after the promotion.
Here’s the details:
Address: 456 Balestier Road @ Ascent, #01-02, S329832
Time: 14 Dec 2019, 6 pm
And the terms and conditions:
- Promotion event while stock lasts
- Each person is only entitled to TWO durians.
- No reservations. First come first basis.
- Payment in cash only.
So… yes, technically, assuming you have the heart to do so, you can chuck two bucks and get two durians.
If you have the heart, that is.
These Are The Residents You’ll Be Helping
Because it’s pretty weird to be introducing you to the home without the residents, here are some of them playing with cute cats and doggos:
The Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home
They are a family-run nursing home started by Lee Ah Mooi in the 1960s, who started out primarily giving care for the Samsui women and Ah Mahs.
Their philosophy is to provide care for the sandwich-class elderly who do not qualify for government-funded homes but also cannot afford the more expensive profit-driven private homes.
They’ve kept their fees affordable and even manage to contribute back in the form of charity discounts or absorbing inflation costs because they’re mostly supported by kind sponsors, volunteers, and public.
After Madam Lee passed away in 1992, her two sons Then Mun Wah and Then Mun Tat took over the nursing home.
Currently, the nursing home is home to 111 elder residents and another 133 live at another branch at Silat Avenue.
