In a press release, YMCA said Mr Chew “brings with him a wealth of experience from both the

driving YMCA towards developing the ‘heartware’ for Singapore through its programme and service
infrastructure, building a resilient and caring society through sustainable community engagement
programmes and nurturing socially responsible community champions.”
“This includes engaging youth in programmes that provide opportunities for them to be attuned to the
needs of the community, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to serve with excellence
through structured training and development programmes, and providing them with the platforms to
step up and lead their peers and other like­minded youths in making a positive difference in the
community."
