SINGAPORE: In the spirit of Christmas, Singaporeans are stepping in to play Santa to underprivileged children by donating teddy bears and soft toys through a charity drive organised by Suntec Singapore recently.

In all, more than 3,500 soft toys were donated by the public since the drive started on the first of December.

All donations will go to autistic children, aged three to six, at the Metta Welfare Association.
