SINGAPORE : Oscar-winning director and actor Mel Gibson has left Singapore after a three-day visit but not before leaving quite an impression.

Gibson donated S$25,000 to Kidz Horizon Appeal, a charity organisation that raises funds for children suffering from illnesses such as cancer and HIV.

He was in Singapore for the Forbes Global CEO Conference, which was held earlier this week.

But the Hollywood actor also took the opportunity to campaign for children suffering from chronic and terminal illness.

And his passion rubbed on to the CEO of Petra Group, Vinod Sekhar, and CEO of the True Group, Patrick Wee.

The two bosses increased their initial pledge of S$10,000 to S$25,000 each for Kidz Horizon Appeal. - CNA/ch
