  To celebrate 50 years of Singapore’s independence in a meaningful way, Singapore Thong Chai Medical Institution organized the SG50 Thong Chai Charity Walkathon on 18 and 19 April 2015. 3 Members of Parliament were invited to officiate the ceremonies and to rally for short distance participants at 3 slated locations, and 50 courageous and warm-hearted warriors spent 2 days on foot to complete a 60-km route linking these 3 sites to form a heart-shape across our island nation. The appreciation dinner was held at Thong Chai Building and the GOH of the dinner was Minister of State, Mr Sam Tan Chin Siong.
