On 22 May 2026, Maybank Singapore as part of the Maybank Silver Buddies @ South East programme, hosted a Scam Awareness Talk at Maybank Tower, 2 Battery Road, welcoming 40 seniors from the Hougang neighbourhood. The event was organised through a collaborative effort between Maybank Singapore, Fei Yue Active Ageing Centre (Hougang), South East CDC, Woodleigh NPC, and Project PRAISE Advocates. Many thanks to for providing the venue and refreshments for the session.
The session proved to be both meaningful and enriching for the seniors in attendance. Speakers from PRAISE Advocates and Woodleigh NPC led the talk in an engaging and interactive manner, fostering lively discussions with the audience. Many seniors took the opportunity to share their personal experiences, while the team on hand addressed questions as they arose throughout the session. Through their outreach efforts, the Advocates played a key role in ensuring that SPF advisories and crime prevention messages reached the seniors effectively.
Participants left with a heightened awareness of the various scam types and the steps they can take to safeguard themselves, with many expressing their desire to pass on what they had learnt to their family members and friends.
