Representative Francis Kuo-Hsin Liang graced the special charity performance at Bukit Panjang Community Club by Taiwan’s Xiu Yu Opera Troupe on 19 August 2017. The performance by Xiu Yu Opera Troupe, at the invitation of the Singapore Bukit Panjang Hokkien Konghuay, was held to raise funds for the two kidney dialysis centers operating in the housing estate. During the event, which saw a full house audience of over 700 persons, Representative Liang presented a donation of S$1,000 to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). In turn, Mr. Ang Chee Wee, NKF’s Director of Corporate Services & Resource Development, presented Representative Liang with a certificate of appreciation.
Founded by Ms. Hong Xiu Yu, a well-known gezai opera performer in Taiwan, the Xiu Yu Opera Troupe’s performance at the community club raised over S$50,000. The troupe also conducted a charity sale of its DVDs, with all proceeds going toward the National Kidney Foundation. At the end of the performance, Representative Liang shook hands with every performer to express his appreciation for their wonderful performance.
