Statement from MediaCorp about Celebrate SG50 Tonight, people all over Singapore will come together with family and friends to count down to a very special year for our nation. Many will gather at Marina Bay, including 25,000 people attending MediaCorp’s Celebrate SG50 countdown show. While we celebrate, we remember those who are grieving the loss of their loved ones on flight AirAsia #QZ8501, and those who have lost their homes in floods in Malaysia. Disasters connect not just those they directly affect, but the communities around them, and remind us how precious life is. MediaCorp will be donating $100,000, part of the proceeds of tonight’s show, to The Singapore Red Cross, to support its efforts in protecting human life and dignity, relieving human suffering and responding to disasters. We look on these difficult times with the knowledge that brighter days are ahead of us, and with the hope that our solidarity, collective courage and determination will help us rise to every challenge.
