SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 -- On November 2, the Singapore Red Cross Society celebrated its 75th Anniversary Benefit Gala ("the Gala") at Shangri-La Singapore. Among the charity auction items was a piece of calligraphy by Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, titled Working Together, Progressing with the Times. The piece was auctioned through DeeDa and sold for S$308,888. The calligraphy embodies the spirit of unity and shared purpose, with all auction proceeds dedicated to supporting the underprivileged.
