The free exhibition opens to the public from 6-8 February, between 10am-6pm. An opening ceremony will be held at 10am on Monday 6 February 2023 at the venue, and the Guests-of-Honour for the opening ceremony would be A/Prof Ho Peng Kee, Patron of ONERHT Foundation, Mr Ng Hoy Keng, President of Chui Huay Lim Club and Mr Aw Chye Wee, Chairman of Ee Hoe Hean Club.

Funds raised through the event will be used to support three local charitable healthcare institutions: Singpapore Thong Chai Medical Institution, Ren Ci Hospital and Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital. Each with its own storied history of service to the community, these three institutions serve thousands of patients every month, regardless of background, race and religion. The funds will enable the three hospitals to expand their services and facilities to support the growing healthcare needs of an ageing population.
