Majulah Singapura! HGCC National Day Picnic with volunteers and residents
To celebrate our Nation’s 46th birthday, Hougang Constituency Committee (HGCC) organized a National Day picnic with some volunteers and residents at Punggol Park.
It was a short get-together, with some 40 over friends of HGCC. All of us get to pen our thoughts and wishes for Singapore on a beautifully painted canvas board.
Giving a short speech before the lunch commenced, Shin Leong shared that this year’s theme for NDP, the Singapore Spirit. The Hougang Spirit encapsulates the essence of the Singapore Spirit. This Hougang Spirit is whereby each Hougang volunteer contributes his part towards community bonding & building.
For example, Shin Leong shared that everyday, Uncle Tan & his team (not his real name), would be at the void deck of Blk 24 for the food distribution to the welfare needy residents. This persevering spirit to serve the residents is something we appreciate and look up to.
Another residents group that Shin Leong pointed out was an independent grassroots leader of a particular neighbourhood cluster in Hougang, Uncle ‘Loh’. His grassroots volunteers were mobilized to sell tickets, and help out for the various events organized by HGCC for the past 20 years. Without any recognition medals or titles, they served perseveringly without complaint.
Similarly the idea of the Singapore Spirit is a collective spirit, whereby each and every Singaporean contributing his part towards nation building, starting at the community and constituency levels.
Shin Leong also recognized the HGCC committee and volunteers who worked behind the scene to organize each event for HGCC, including this National Day picnic. The hard work and efforts behind the scene is to serve the residents and the people of Singapore.
This is the Singapore Spirit that we should emulate.
Happy Birthday Singapore! May You be blessed with Peace, Progress and Prosperity!
