” I feel for everyone who is going through a difficult moment,” I said. I do trust that people who come to MPS will also honor our individuals” .&nbsp,

Although those present at the meet-the-people lessons often make an effort to assist the people, Mr. Tan said that” some items are beyond what we can do.” &nbsp,
