this Saturday for Hougang Deepam Night
Last night was WP Hougang Deepam Nite 2011. It was Hougang Constituency Committee’s first Deepavali celebrations post-GE2011. Hougang Deepam Nite was a night of non-stop entertainment, splendid food and community bonding.
MP Yaw Shin Leong, MP Low Thia Khiang, MP Sylvia Lim, MP Chen Show-Mao, MP Muhamed Faisal & NCMP Yee Jenn Jong, WP members & volunteers joined 500-plus Hougang’s Indian community in the celebrations. (MP Pritam Singh was out of town and NCMP Gerald Giam had a prior commitment)
The WP MPs preset kick-start the event with the lighting up of the two Kuthuvelaku(s) (Traditional Light Lamps). Accordingly to the resident who loaned HGCC the Kuthuvelaku(s), he purchased them from Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1990. This was one year earlier than WP’s GE1991 victory in Hougang SMC!
The sub-committee that organized the ‘Hougang Deepam Nite’ was comprised of predominately Hougang residents and was helmed by Mr Manja Khaiyum. Shin Leong shared with the guests, that, he was very heartened by the unceasing passion and deep-rooted commitment displayed by sub-committee members.
Shin Leong shared that their passion is highly infectious and that energizes him. The kindred spirit displayed by Hougang’s Indian community (together with other communities) certainly makes the Hougang Spirit complete.
Hougang Deepam Nite was a culturally enriching night of Bollywood Dance, Indian 'Live' band, non-stop entertainment hosted by G.T. Mani (Vasantham Host) & performances by 'MGR', 'Sivaji' and several other artistes. Hougang residents were also treated to a sumptuous 9 dish buffet dinner, exciting lucky draw prizes and door gifts.
The event will not have been possible, if not because of generous sponsorships, which included a miniature kuthuvelaku, premium Sidhi café (50g Arabica instant coffee) and great lucky draw prizes that included a 32’inch flat screen TV, DVD players, Spa vouchers, fruit blenders and cash vouchers etc.
The night also saw WP MPs dancing alongside the beats of Bollywood music. It was particularly interesting when MP Low Thia Khiang gamely danced on stage!
The volunteers behind Deepam Nite were so jubilant with the event’s success that the team is already talking about the preparations for Hougang Deepam Nite 2012!
