Serangoon North Village SPRING Festival Opening,Pt 3

After the light up, there followed presentations of Thank You plaques by Mrs Lim to the various sponsors of the event. And some lovely singing by the stage peformers accompanied by a Live band.
There was an interesting banter between the emcee and the young lady who entertained the crowd...in Mandarin. Unk Dicko understood the message and fully agree with it wholeheartedly.
What was the message?

Roughly translated, " since we live in THIS village or kampong, we should do more of our buying or shopping for goods or services from shops at our own backyard. The shops provide and do cater to all with quite a wide range of goods. Moreover, it makes much sense to support your own kampong folks be it in business or in other ways. Everyone benefits."

While the stage performances continued, Mrs Lim, accompanied by her GRLs, went round to meet and greet practically everyone who was there.

I was pleasantly surprised that despite all the doom and gloom that has descended upon our economy and that has seemingly darkened our horizons, most of the people I saw were still looking upbeat, warm and positive.

This must be a good sign...the outward exuberance of a people reflect their inner resilence.
