Ministerial Community Visit


Location Held: Kebun Baru Mall
Date: 27 Jun 2010


The miniterial visit went smoothly without a hitch; even the slight rain did not dampen the mood of our residents and volunteers. The residents were very enthusiastic about meeting the Minister which had been a great success for us. The Indian musical group, Malay Kompang and Lion/Dragon dance troop provided a roaring multi-racial welcome for the Minister while the pompom-carrying children put smiles on faces with their innocent looks and adorable cheers.

Many people gathered around the performing area to watch the various performances. Two of those we want to specify on are the Myanmar traditional dance by a new citizen which taught us her native country’s culture and the Wushu that showed ferocity and strength, and raised the interest of the crowd. The booths put up by the E2C, SPF,LTA, SCDF, WDA and NTUC Learning Hub taught life skills and handed out souvenirs generously. The candy floss, sculpture balloons and the Wii games attracted both children and adults alike!

We like to thank the residents for supporting us and taking interest in this event. Without your help and your enthusiasm, this visit could never have been such a wonderful success.
