Part 6/11:
Michael’s dedication didn’t stop at disability. He was instrumental in identifying and assisting families living in poor conditions, often unseen due to stigma or unawareness. He helped organize grassroots programs where volunteers visited residents, identified problems, and facilitated access to essential services, effectively bridging gaps between communities and social services.
Pave and Family Violence Initiatives
He contributed to founding Pave, an organization dedicated to tackling family violence—a sensitive issue often marginalized in public discourse. Recognizing its importance, Michael supported this initiative, which later evolved into an independent organization, transforming Singapore’s approach to family support.
