#LetsMeet Mohamad Fadhil Bin Abdul Jalil, 24, an artist with autism from Arts@Metta, Metta Welfare Association, who created an artwork for the #NDP2020 Singapore Together Pack, as part of SG Enable’s i’mable initiative which aims to celebrate the abilities of persons with special needs.
“In my artwork, I drew the HDB blocks opposite my own block, with national flags hanging outside each flat. I feel that hanging flags lets us express our pride in Singapore. When all of us hang our flags together, it can become something inspiring.
Personally, I do not know my neighbours well although I have seen them many times. I have always wanted to befriend them, and I hope that I can do so one day.”

“My artwork was inspired by my personal experience of living in an HDB flat harmoniously with neighbours of different races. To me, the COVID-19 crisis reinforces the importance of compassion and mutual understanding. In the midst of challenges, there is always good to be found if we stand as one. Only by working together can Singapore become a better place where we can prosper.”
