The care packages were distributed to staff at National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Singapore General Hospital.

Not only were they handed out to medical staff, but to the cleaners hard at work keeping the spaces hygienic too.

Rui En, fan club, celeb friends gift over 2,000 care packages to local frontline medical staff, cleaners, drivers https://t.co/K46wiVrZPD pic.twitter.com/4we9ernmhi

The gesture was initiated and co-organised by Rui En, who raised funds for the gifts, packed the items, wrote the notes, and treated volunteers to drinks.

A representative from Rui En’s fan club RBKD told AsiaOne they spoke to their nursing friends before deciding to give the hospital staff hand cream because “a lot of them have dry, cracked hands from (using) alcohol sanitisers”.

They also gave the care packs to cleaners and drivers at the hospitals as they are an “overlooked group of heroes in the hospital”.

Message from Rui En:

I learnt awhile ago that I can’t control the things that happen to me in life, but I can control my reaction to it. I can choose to be paralysed by fear and anxiety about getting a virus, locking myself at home, or I can take the required precautions and continue life in a safe, measured way.

Similarly, we can allow fear to hold us hostage, resulting in ungracious behaviour towards front line health workers, or we can choose to lift them up as heroes and show them how much we appreciate them.

The news articles about nurses being shunned on public transport were followed in quick succession by new articles about families sending nurses breakfast, and corporations treating them to a meal, or arranging safe transportation for them. News about diminishing blood bank supplies was met with overwhelming response and crowds at blood donation centres. I read all these articles with tears in my eyes.

In a world where distrust, ugliness and hate are pervasive, Singaporeans have triumphed by letting LOVE have the last laugh. Me and RBKD sent these care packages to the front line health workers and cleaners because we wanted them to know that they are loved as heroes.

For helping me put together this initiative seemingly overnight, thank you Xinyi. All the RBKD members who packed the care packages over 2 long sessions, I really appreciate you. My gor (who wrote a 100 notes in Chinese), his group of friends, and members who did handwritten notes for the health workers. The friends and fans who donated funds when they could not afford the time. The sponsors who came in so generously with items.

Choose Kindness

“Please in all situations, choose kindness and empathy. Fight against letting fear morph into cruelty… Pray for these first responders and front line workers. They are heroes.”

Happy birthday, Rui En! The actress turns 39 today (Jan 29) and to mark the occasion, she and her loyal fans did something special a couple of weeks ago. On Jan 17, Rui En and 20 members of RBKD went around handing out S$9,000 worth of goodie bags to the elderly. It’s a tradition that started a decade ago, after she told her fans to avoid buying her presents and give back to the community instead. “Every year is special because it means so much more to me that my fans are willing to do charity work for my birthday rather than a normal celebration, which I have always felt is unnecessary and a waste of money,” said the actress. She added: “Charity work is never easy and this year was no exception. I can't tell you how proud I am of them.” Read more on CNA Lifestyle, link in bio. #RuiEn #RBKD #charity #Singapore #actress (Photo: RBKD)
