We thank Goy Soong Ngee for his letter, “Recognise citizens who help improve Singapore” (Sept 21), and agree with him.
It was with this in mind that the Municipal Services Office launched the OneService Everyday Heroes Award in April.
The award recognises members of the public who have made a positive difference within the community through their constructive feedback and collaborative work with agencies to address neighbourhood issues.
These include those who have made proactive efforts to improve our shared living environment through small acts of service.
This year-round initiative complements the annual OneService Awards which honour community partners and individual staff from municipal agencies and town councils.
Together, we hope to inspire more Singaporeans to play their part in building a “we first” society, no matter how big or small their contributions.
We welcome nominations of worthy individuals at https://go.gov.sg/everydayhero
