Taking PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO EAST COAST ,
In response to CNA’s issue to Mr Dinesh and Mdm Hazlina on their experience with East Coast GRC, both said the welcome by people in East Coast had been hot. They also spoke to investigators about their priorities and reasons for wanting to provide people there.
Mr Dinesh stepped down as CEO of AIC, which coordinates top care services, on Mar 27.
” While I’m a newcomer, ( East Coast ) is not really a new place for me, because I’ve spent time on the ground, not just walking around and understanding what the residents ‘ concerns are, but to also understand the senior landscape”, said Mr Dinesh, 50.
He added that he has visited effective age areas in the East Coast region and understands the concerns of an ageing community in East Coast and in public.  ,
” I hope to bring in new skills, new suggestions, to help the people in East Coast, especially our elders and more significantly, our caretakers as well”, said Mr Dinesh.  ,
Mdm Hazlina, 40, is also the former chief executive of Make-A-Wish Singapore and the president of Persatuan Pemudi Islam Singapura ( PPIS ) or Singapore Muslim Women’s Association from 2020 to 2024. She has also been helping out MP Tin Pei Ling in MacPherson SMC.
Aside from her job as a reporter and news director at Mediacorp, Mdm Hazlina was formerly the US ministry’s public affairs assistant in Singapore before moving to the cultural influence sector.  , Mdm Hazlina highlighted her experience in a social service agency which has centres” ( mostly ) on the east side” and said that it had been “quite meaningful” to interact with residents more closely.
