How can persons with special needs ensure financial security?

The Special Needs Trust Company provides trust services to persons with special needs in Singapore, so don't fret.

The SNTC is a charity which provides trust services to persons with special needs. Its board of directors is chaired by Professor Lim Pin, who formerly served as Vice Chancellor at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

According to Chew Chin Seng of SNTC, “We help people like 68-year-old single mother Mdm Yip Lum Fong and her 28-year-old son Cheah Tat Hiang, who suffers from Down syndrome. Through our fund-raising efforts, we have been able to provide Madam Yip with S$5,000 to open a trust account for Tat Hiang. Madam Yip told us, ‘I am not afraid to die now because I can go with peace of mind.’”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
