Ms Joan Pereira joined THKMC in October 2023, having previously worked as the Director of Community Liaison at Temasek Foundation Cares. Joan began her career at the Queenstown Community Centre in 1990, where she implemented programmes to foster community bonding among residents of all ages. She moved on to People’s Association’s headquarters in 2000, where she developed social development programmes and promoted family life in the community.

From 2007 to 2015, Joan implemented the Wellness Programme in all 87 constituencies by working closely with grassroots organisations, voluntary welfare organisations and religious groups, encouraging seniors to form social networks, stay active, healthy and engaged in the community. These experiences enabled her to strengthen her people skills, through which, happy residents and the positive outcomes gave her much satisfaction.
