"Saying No, your Choice" at Senior Activity Centre - CHTSAC

"Saying NO, your Choice" - a 'survival' skills set for our seniors" - a talk in Mandarin at Chong Hwa Tong Senior Activity Centre by Ms Hiew Woie Ling from Tsao Foundation's Hua Mei Training Academy on Saturday - 25 April 2009. It was a very informative talk enlightening our seniors to be cautious of some of the well-known tricks or gimmicks used by the sales peoples or impersonated government officers seeking entry into their premises with no good intention.

This talk also high lighted several incidents of strangers seeking for assistance and our good samaritan seniors ended up parting his hard-earned wealth to these strangers.
