On 2 April 2025, as part of Dentons Rodyk’s CSR 2025 events, we hosted a Lunch & Learn session with The Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) at our office, where BMDP explained the life-saving impact of a bone marrow donor and demystified the bone marrow donation process. Our thanks to BMDP CEO Charles Loh and Shu Ling Tan and the BMDP team for the collaboration. A special highlight during the Lunch & Learn session was our Senior Partner Tien Wah Ling’s sharing of his own personal experience as a bone marrow donor. Tien Wah’s donation story was heartfelt and inspiring. To him, there was nothing heroic in his actions, as he believes that if there is a chance to save a life, most people should and will do so. In support of BMDP’s cause, several of our staff such as our CSR Committee Chair Terence Wah and Jackson Thia from Marketing Communications did a live cheek swab and signed up as potential donors! A big thank you to BMDP for the meaningful session and to our staff for their continued support of our CSR events! suchitra ragupathy Mohamad Rizuan Pathie Martin See Nicolette Lee Nicole Leong Cho Joo Sam Daniel Lam Zi Cong Mok Geena Liaw Ong Jin Feng Karen Gwee Lina T.
