Woh Hup to raise funds for arts charity

Woh Hup, Singapore's largest private construction group, is planning to raise funds for the Very Special Arts (VSA) charity through a live auction at its upcoming annual dinner for subcontractors on Oct 5.

Woh Hup, which has donated $3 million to social and education causes to mark its 90th anniversary, has bought five paintings at an exhibition held by VSA and will auction these pieces at the dinner to be attended by some 150 contractors who have worked with the company over the years.

The auction is expected to raise at least $20,000 for VSA.
