The National University of Singapore Students’ Union (NUSSU) Flag Day had raised a record of $441,839.07 for Community Chest in 2007. On 7 August 2007, NUS freshmen and seniors spread themselves across the island of Singapore asking for donations with the belief that a little goes a long way. Indeed, the funds raised would help more than 53,000 beneficaries from the 19 selected social service programmes to maintain lives of hope and dignity.
