Alex and Fahmi take over from Teo Ho Pin and @maliki_osman, who are stepping down after many years of leadership and contributions. Our Mayors are chairpersons of the Community Development Councils (CDCs) for the five respective districts. The CDCs play an important role in our social support system. They not only implement government programmes, but also serve as eyes and ears on the ground. They connect with communities, and identify emerging needs and gaps in social support. CDCs deliver services with a human touch, in a way that government agencies that operate on a national scale find harder to do. CDCs work quietly to fulfil their mission, but in times of crisis, their contributions are vital. Since COVID-19, the CDCs have rolled out more than 70 initiatives. The CDC Vouchers Scheme is a good example. The five CDCs launched this community scheme to help 400,000 households defray the cost of living, while supporting local businesses through the COVID-19 period. Congratulations to all five Mayors on their appointments. I wish them every success in their new term!
