Separately, on Feb. 17, SCCCI presented a cheque of 1.1 million Singapore dollars (774,200 U.S. dollars) to the Singapore Red Cross to fund the latter's assistance to China.
The China Enterprises Association (Singapore) (CEA), for its part, has also called on its 670 members to contribute to Singapore's efforts in putting the virus under control. Some members have donated money to the Singapore Migrant Workers' Center, and some have provided anti-pandemic materials such as facial masks, disinfectants and liquid soaps.
SCCCI President Roland Ng said in an interview with CEA staff that the business federations of the two countries can take advantage of the enormous business opportunities in industrial transformation, explore more channels of cooperation and achieve a win-win outcome after the virus is wiped out.
CEA President Cheng Jun noted that a survey conducted among their members showed that about 70 percent of the respondents are confident about Singapore's economic recovery after the end of COVID-19 outbreak. He also expressed belief that the China-Singapore ties will be consolidated in this battle, and the bilateral collaboration will be broadened later on.
EXCHANGES AMID TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
Although the COVID-19 outbreak and travel restrictions prevented face-to-face interactions, 30 Chinese and Singaporean musicians managed to give a heart-warming online performance on Tuesday. The music lovers, teachers as well as conductors from both countries played erhu, a two-stringed bowed instrument, to perform Chinese musician Liu Tianhua's masterpiece -- "Guang Ming Xing" (heading for the light).
