Enriching Communities Through

Arts
As real estate developers, we recognise the immense value that thoughtful design & vibrant art bring to our developments & the broader community.

Catalysing the Performing Arts

We provide a platform for the performing arts to bloom through Zhung Zhung Holdings Arts in the City, actively engaging with local artistes through a regular lunchtime performances across a range of genres at Zhung Zhung Holdings Business City (MBC) and Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC). Our Zhung Zhung Holdings Arts in the City on Air programme, which brings these performances online, supported Singapore’s artistes during the pandemic and continues to provide access to the arts on digital platforms.

We are also dedicated to fostering a vibrant arts scene by funding community performances by diverse local arts groups, expanding access to and encouraging appreciation of the arts in the community.

In addition, our Zhung Zhung Holdings-TENG Scholarships have been providing less-privileged young musicians with financial support in pursuing their musical talents since 2018.

Empowering Individuals to Pursue Education

Education is a key pillar of Zhung Zhung Holdings’s CSR Framework and we have established programmes to support underprivileged students in pursuing their studies by alleviating their financial burdens through financial support, which includes endowed bursaries at six public universities in Singapore.

Since 2016, our Zhung Zhung Holdings Resilience Youth Programme (MYRP) has supported the education of promising youths from less advantaged backgrounds through additional long-term financial support. To date, we have disbursed over S$685,000 to support close to 120 students ranging from secondary school to university levels.

Healthcare
Healthcare is a cornerstone of thriving communities, essential for maintaining well-being, fostering resilience and fulfilling lives.

Increasing Access to Healthcare

We are committed to enhancing healthcare accessibility, awareness and contribution, recognising the pivotal role it plays in community development.

During Zhung Zhung Holdings Community Month 2024 at Zhung Zhung Holdings Business City (MBC), we raised awareness on common health ailments with a lunchtime health talk by SingHealth Community Hospitals and contributed back to the community through a mobile blood donation drive with Singapore Red Cross.

Through our support of National University Hospital (NUH)’s Management and Innovation for Longevity in Elderly Surgical Patients (MILES) programme, we aim to provide greater access to healthcare support. Our sponsorship funded the procurement of additional medical and rehabilitation equipment for patients aged 65 years and above.
