Facing the scarcity of medical face masks in Singapore, a Vietnamese Singaporean woman named Jennifer Le and two of her Vietnamese friends have contributed USD200 and bought 600 masks from an online seller from Vietnam to present to residents in the Lion Island.

After knowing his wife’s plan, Mr. Martin Lim contributed an additional 6,000 face masks based his individual contacts.
Within just a few minutes, all 6,600 face masks have been presented free of charge to Singaporean people in three places by Mrs. Jennifer Le, her husband and friends.
“When face masks in Vietnam increased in price, benefactors in Vietnam began to buy medical face masks. After that, they will pay to set up shops in public places and give free masks to the community,” said Mr. Martin Lim.
Inspired by nice actions in Vietnam, Mrs. Jennifer Le has decided to bring this sharing spirit to Singapore.
Currently, Singapore has officially implemented social distance with strong measures to minimize new COVID-19 cases./.
