Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, 15 SSA Merdeka Generation (MG) members will be representing SSA in the online Chingay performance this year.
With the gradual easing of the circuit breaker measures, SSA has recently reached out once again to some of our seniors who are staying alone with no caregivers to ensure they are keeping well.
Amid the challenging COVID-19 situation, SSA received a wonderful piece of good news – Our Merdeka Generation performing item in this year’s Chingay has been voted as the Most Popular Contingent in Chingay 2020!
Heartiest congratulations to all our Merdeka Generation members and volunteers involved in this year’s event! Your bright smiles and beautiful performance have won the hearts of our voters!
After close to 3 months of hard work, 100 of our Future Division members and another 100 Merdeka Generation members wow-ed the audience at the annual Chingay Parade held at the F1 Pit over 31 January and 1 February. This year marks SGS’s 36th year of participation in the Chingay Parade, an annual international street parade held during the Lunar New Year period. This year, SSA participated in two performing items – the Opening Segment where 100 (Secondary 1) Future Division members entered with the Guest-of-Honour (Prime Minister and President for both days respectively); and “Bridge of Harmony” where 100 Merdeka Generation (Singaporeans born between 1950–1959) leaders performed in a travelling dance item. Well done all SSA performers!
Catch both the SSA items this Sunday 9 February, 7pm or 16 February, 4.30pm on Channel 8!

With the rising emphasis on enhancing social and health support for senior citizens, SSA has been working closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Agency of Integrated Care (AIC) on a series of community projects benefitting senior citizens.
