Some 1000 residents (young and old) and grassroots leaders gathered as early as 7.30 am at the CC. Most were dressed and decked in red and white! After the arrival of the Guest-of-honor, Ms Denise Phua, MP for Jalan Besar GRC and Adviser to Kampong Glam GROs, we sang the National Anthem loud and clear. We recited the Pledge proudly. We sang community songs with great gusto.

Then the fun began - first the warm-up exercises, followed by a 2km mass walk-and-jog around the vicinity. The climax was the telematches where 100 participants, divided into 5 teams, strategized and struggled at 3 games. There was much chaos but who cared! Everyone went home with a goodie bag, some with prizes and others with lucky draw prizes too.

It was a day where Singaporeans came together as One People, One Nation, One Singapore. Majullah Singapura!
