Zheng Geping Awarded Public Service Medal After Serving Woodlands Community For 15 Years, Even Though He Doesn’t Live There

Mediacorp actor Zheng Geping is such an A+ citizen.

Earlier today, the 61-year-old took to his Facebook to share that he'd been conferred the Public Service Medal 2025, also known as Pingat Bakti Masyarakat (PBM).

Geping received the award for his quiet contribution to the Woodlands community for the past 15 years. 

Although the actor doesn't live in Woodlands, he joined the community's volunteer group about 15 years ago under a friend's encouragement.

Over the years, he has taken part in various activities big and small — from fundraising to distributing supplies and even performing at festive events.

Many of Geping's friends have congratulated him on his post, thanking him for helping students in the community, and contributing in many ways.

"To receive it during SG60 makes it even more meaningful," said Geping, who admitted that he never imagined this day would come. 

"This recognition is not mine alone. It belongs to my brothers and sisters at Woodlands CCC, the amazing residents of Woodlands, and our tireless Advisor Mariam Jaafar," he continued.

"Your trust, love, and support inspire me to keep serving with heart."
