During the show’s second act, titled Our Strength, a subtle floral fragrance with a woody undertone emanated through the stands at the Padang, evoking the scent of a flowering Tembusu tree.

The smell was specially created to accompany a blossoming flower dance by the Soka Gakkai Singapore Women’s Division and local dance troupe Dance Inspiration.

WHAT HAPPENED

SGS is a Buddhist organisation practising Nichiren Buddhism in Singapore, registered first as a society in 1972 and a charity in 1985.

Nichiren Buddhism is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism originating in Japan, founded by the Buddhist priest Nichiren.

SGS is part of an international network of affiliated organisations under Soka Gakkai International, and the only constituent organisation of Soka Gakkai International in Singapore.

According to SGS' constitution, management of its affairs is invested in its management committee.

Its constitution allows for the expulsion of members, for reasons including breaching any provision of its constitution, rules and bylaws or doing something "against the interests or harmony of the association".

According to the claimants, SGSD is an informal group of family and friends who came to study and practise Nichiren Buddhism together and encourage each other in their faith.
