| About Chinese Development Assistance Council： |
| The Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) is a self-help group for needy Chinese in Singapore. From 1 September 1992, all working Chinese Singapore citizens and permanent residents were required to contribute monthly to the CDAC Fund according to their salary level. In 2010, CDAC allocated S$11.4 million (50%) of its funds to Student Education and development; S$5.5 (24%) million to Workers’ Upgrading and Employment; S$3.4 million (15%) to Family Workfare and Support. Today, the CDAC aims to nurture the potential of the Chinese community to contribute to the continued success of a multi-racial Singapore. |
