MOTHER'S DAY SG60 CELEBRATION
ABOUT INITIATIVE
As we celebrate Mother’s Day 2025 this year, Quan Mei proudly continues our annual tradition – now honoring mothers, caregivers as well as Singapore’s SG60 milestone, just as we did previously during SG50 in 2015.
This year’s celebration saw a remarkable coming together of community partners and volunteers from Quan Mei, Hyper 21 Enterprises, D&J Project Management, Radin Mas CC, BOSS Group, St. Luke’s Eldercare (Telok Blangah), NTUC Health Active Ageing Centres (Telok Blangah & Redhill), Goodlife Studio (Bukit Purmei), Sarah Active Ageing Centre, Yong En Active Hub, Bukit Purmei Zone A RN Centre, and Blossom Seeds, handcrafting a total of 3000 carnation flowers. Adding special warmth to this year’s initiative, Radin Mas WEC contributed 600 handmade crocheted coasters that were distributed together with the handmade flowers to residents across Radin Mas and Redhill – a heartfelt touch to celebrate this meaningful occasion.
Beyond the celebrations for Mother’s Day and SG60, this initiative saw another meaningful movement. Out of 3000 carnation flowers, 1500 were under BOSS Group where the contributions were used to help support and empower vital organizations such as MINDS, METTA, AWWA and Blossom Seeds to expand their reach and deepen their impact. In addition, the initiative helps provide opportunities for the elderly from the participating volunteer organizations mentioned previously to stay active and engaged, fostering intergenerational connections.
THE PROCESS
For this year’s initiative, Quan Mei along with our associates, Hyper 21 Enterprises and D&J Project Management played a key role in coordinating various elements for the event.
This included the ordering and distributing of materials to the various participating volunteer organizations, organizing flower making workshops to teach volunteers as well as the collection of completed flowers for the SG60 formation and distribution for Mother’s day on 11th May in the Radin Mas area.
In total, 3000 carnation flowers were made across the volunteers organizations and 600 were used for the SG60 heart formation.
Following the collection and distribution of flowers to the respective areas, Quan Mei, Hyper 21 Enterprises, and D&J Project Management joined forces under the leadership of Quan Mei’s senior interior designer to assemble the SG60 installation. With support from valued industry partners, who helped with constructing the foundational structure beforehand, the process of setting up was made easier. Before placing the flowers and coasters, the SG60 heart was elevated at an angle and the layout was then meticulously marked to accommodate 600 carnation flowers and 600 crocheted coasters (packaged in clear balls) – creating a visually striking tribute.
