A life transformed by loss, reborn in compassion—this is the journey of Angela Khoo. After losing her beloved mother in 2013, Angela began to think about the value of her life and thus decided to move towards charity. Her journey from sorrow to service has touched countless lives. She practiced “giving and receiving, giving and receiving” through actions and gave new meaning to her life with love. Today, she is recognized with the 13th Golden Phoenix Awards – Benevolence Award 2025 for her outstanding contribution to charity and community well-being. 从至亲的离世中重建人生，追求人生的生命意义。2013年母亲逝世后，邱巧莲开始思考自己人生的价值，从而定位走向公益之路。一路以来，她以行动实践“舍与得，施与受”，用爱赋予了自己生命新的意义。今天，她荣膺第13届金凤奖之2025年度金凤慈善家大奖，以表彰她在慈善与社区关怀方面的卓越贡献。
Since 2013, Angela Khoo has actively participated in a wide range of charitable efforts—from organizing cultural performances and fundraising events, to visiting the elderly, supporting food banks, and distributing essentials to the underprivileged. She brings joy and dignity to every stage she steps on, dance performing not for fame, but to uplift lives.
自2013年起，邱巧莲积极投身各类慈善活动，从文艺表演、参与募款，到探访长者、支持食物银行及物资派发，她始终如一地传递温暖。她站上舞台不是为博掌声，而是愿用舞艺点亮他人的信心与希望。
She has performed in The 10th Macau Sunset Rainbow 2024 International Cultural and Art Exchange, participated in Johor Bahru Community Charity Performance, and supported the Bukit Batok AAC 13th Anniversary celebration. Whether offering food, making donations, performing charity shows, or heartfelt companionship, Angela always conveys hope and warmth with love.
她曾受邀参加澳门回归澳门第十届夕阳里的彩虹2024 年国际文化艺术交流，也曾参与柔佛新山社区义演活动，并支持新加坡武吉巴督乐龄中心13周年庆典。不论是送餐、捐助、义演，还是送上关怀与陪伴，邱巧莲始终以爱心传递希望与温暖。
Looking Ahead 未来展望
Angela believes that doing good and doing business are not mutually exclusive—they stem from the same compassion. To her, philanthropy is a lifelong commitment, and every entrepreneur has a responsibility to give back, regardless of scale. She hopes that through her actions, more elderly people will be encouraged to participate in society, avoid becoming isolated and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and encourage more people to volunteer and contribute themselves.
邱巧莲深信，“做公益”与“做企业”并不冲突，而是出自同一份慈悲之心。在她眼中，公益不是阶段性行动，而是一生的修行。她希望透过自己的行动，让更多上了年纪的人多参与社会，不要变得孤僻而得老年痴呆症，鼓励更多人走出来做义工，贡献自己。
