Punggol East By-Election Later News Update

[h=1]13-08-09: National Day Flag Distribution 2013[/h]<abbr title="August 9, 2013" data-utime="1375979280">Today</abbr> · · Taken at Rivervale Plaza

National Day morning in Punggol East was like any weekend morning, except for one thing. Rivervale Plaza filled up with a constant flow of families heading out marketing or to get a special breakfast. And we were there with Li Lian to hand out flags and greetings to paint the Plaza red and white. Serious marketing faces lit up with smiles as hands stretched out to take flags. Kids ran up to get flags, not only for themselves, but also for their brothers and sisters. Residents we met on our trips came up to shook our hands and to chat. We thought we were going to bring holiday cheers and do outreach. We were touched instead and went home very happy too.

Attended a lunar 7th month pot luck session last weekend. Instead of the usual dinner which is a common sight during the month, this group of residents chose to do it differently. They have been doing this for the past 13 years. Residents both young and old as well as other races participated in the session:)

PECC held our inaugural Hari Raya Celebrations. The organising committee put up an interesting performance, that was to have a Chinese member sang the behasa melayu version of 童话 while a Malay member sang the same sang in Mandarin!

A great picture of racial harmony:)

[h=1]13-08-25: Karnival Aidilfitri di Punggol East[/h]Updated <abbr title="Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 3:36pm" data-utime="1377761812" class="timestamp">44 minutes ago</abbr> · Taken at 116D Rivervale Drive



Aidilfitri Carnival at Punggol East was like no other. I had expected a formal dinner with staged performances. I was in for a huge surprise. True to the spirit of a carnival, the event was informal, loosely defined with free seating for residents to mingle. With awesome briyani and traditional snacks commonly served during Aidilfitri, the carnival felt like a large Hari Raya open house--albeit with a difference--there were a sing-along to Hari Raya medleys, joget dancing, lucky draws and traditional games. It was like living up Malay culture in Punggol East. MP Lee Li Lian and PECC volunteer, Nicholas, joined in singing Hari Raya medleys. My verdict: pretty good, given both are not Malay speakers. The residents warmed up to them quickly, showering them with cheers. Now, who says Singapore doesn’t have kampongs?
