One Friendship, Two Cultures

They came for the activities but stayed for the friendship. At Lions Befrienders Active Ageing Centre in Clementi, Mr. Yoganathan and Mr. Tan—two seniors from different worlds—found something rare and enduring: a bond rooted in humour, empathy, and mutual respect. Through simple acts like sharing meals, supporting newcomers, and checking in on rainy days, their story reflects the true spirit of community and connection across cultures.
