SINGAPORE: City Developments Limited (CDL) Group CEO Sherman Kwek made a splash for charity at the Assisi Fun Day 2018 on Sunday (Jun 24) helping raise over S$180,000 for charity through his lone efforts at the dunking machine.
The charity segment raised $183,846 from CDL's business partners and visitors to the carnival, with the funds going towards Assisi Hospice's patients who need palliative care and their families.
