Friendship across generations, meet Nancy Kwek and Rohana.
Meet Madam Singapore 2022, Nancy Kwek (74), and her very close friend Ms Rohana (45).
“I don’t see her as a 74-year-old, but more as a very good friend. I have been asked by many about why my friends are a lot older. But to me, age is just a number, and it is the relationship that matters. She has taught me a lot of values as well, which I appreciate,” explains Ms Rohana.
