In this new series, we turn the spotlight on our grassroots leaders, star ting with Mr Gopala Krishnan.
Q: What inspired you to be a grassroots leader? My late parents instilled in me a strong desire to help others. My late mother had a charitable nature and was always willing to help neighbours in need. I also experienced the kampong life. I star ted out as an observer in community work at Toa Payoh. Then, I moved to Nee Soon when it was a new estate, and began community service work under a few MPs. Over 30 years have passed and I continue to serve the community. It was my passion for the community that sparked my desire to star t social outreach programs.
