Singapore — Longtime opposition leader, who fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening a restaurant in late June with his wife Huang Chih-Mei, once again opened up Orange & Teal to those who might otherwise not afford its meals.

Dr Chee, who is the secretary-general of the Singapore Democratic Party, hosted residents who live in rental blocks at Bukit Batok, where he has been involved in on-ground activities for quite some time.: “Getting into the spirit of the season. Treated Bukit Batok residents from rental blocks to a Christmas lunch at Orange & Teal.

Served up turkey with stuffing and shrimp scampi, finished off with our Xmas pastries and a hot cuppa for everyone. Had a jolly good time.Keeping a wide-open door to all Singaporeans has become a habit with the opposition leader.He wrote in an Aug 13 Facebook post, “Rather than indulge in self-glorifying parades and making grandiloquent rally speeches, society should commemorate our independence by lifting up the poorest among us….

We established a place to have the richest and the poorest among us dine in style and comfort – and have that great conversation. Won’t you come over?” he added.he underlined that everyone is welcome at the caféHe wrote in a Sept 16 Facebook post that someone who had reviewed the food at Orange & Teal, “wandered into commenting on the make-up of our guests.”“The whole idea of us starting the cafe was to bring people together, no matter your station in life or the path you take.

I’ve had all of you come through and I thank you for making this place the rich tapestry of life that we want it to be,” he added.
