SINGAPORE: Grassroots organisations are getting new Singapore citizens and permanent residents involved in National Day celebrations as a way of integrating them here.
Sally Chen was born in South Korea, but is now a permanent resident (PR) here. Her father studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing before settling down in Singapore two years ago.
She is taking part in the National Day celebrations at the grassroots level by performing a Korean Dance.
Another participant is 55-year-old Suchavavee Chandra, who was born in Bangkok. Married to a Singaporean for the past 34 years, she gave up her Thai citizenship to become a Singapore citizen.
"Otherwise, after 34 years, I am still PR. Now, I already have a granddaughter. I want to stay here," she said.
Both Chandra and the Chens are among 23 new citizens and permanent residents from South Korea, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand who have been invited by the grassroots organisations to perform.
