CEM holds activity for the elders

With Chinese New Year around the corner, CEM yesterday organized 17 Ambassadors to accompany 18 elderly from Peng On Tung Association to take a test ride on electric vehicles (EVs).

Six of the senior citizens were the participants of “CEM Ambassadors 1+1 Elderly Program” held last year. This is the fourth year that CEM has joined hands with Peng On Tung Association to hold such activities prior to the Chinese New Year, according to the company’s press release.

This week, CEM Ambassadors set out from CEM Building driving EVs, and picked up the elderly before touring around the Taipa Houses Museum and taking photos there.

After that, CEM Ambassadors had a lunch together with the elders, and presented them with down vests to wish them good health.
