SINGAPORE – A new $100 million endowment, named in honour of the late Richard Magnus, was launched on Monday in support of the health and psycho-social needs of mothers and children.
Retired judge Richard Magnus spent 50 years in public service and held leadership roles like chairman of the Public Transport Council and founding chairman of Temasek Foundation Cares. HeHis granddaughter, Ms Nicole Magnus, said at the launch of the endowment on Monday that her grandfather was a model for kindness and showed her the importance of making a difference to the people around her.
“Every person seemed to matter to Grandpa. He cared not only about those who were family and close to him or those he came across. Stories of pain, suffering and injustice affected him as he discussed incidents and people he read about in the newspaper. He impacted my life not by talking about it, but by the way he lived.”
The Integrated Maternal and Child Wellness Hub model has been expanded to Bedok Polyclinic and Tampines Polyclinic, followed by Sengkang Polyclinic later this year.
