BISHAN EAST NATIONAL DAY 2009 OBSERVANCE CEREMONY

Dear Residents and Friends,

Bishan East celebrates the nation's 44th birthday today. Many residents would have received an email and SMS message from our Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, DPM Wong Kan Seng, wishing one and all a Happy National Day. DPM Wong has the following message for our residents.

NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE

"Dear Residents

As we celebrate the 44th National Day, let us count our blessings.

Our country is peaceful, and our people live in harmony. No doubt, the economy is not doing well for now.
The Government recognized this early. Swift actions were early this year. The Resilience Package costing $20.5 billion was introduced to help workers stay in their jobs, and businesses continue to survive.

Now the dark clouds are slowly beginning to lift. Singaporeans have overcome many crises together with the Government. I am confident that we will be able to overcome this one too. Let us stay united and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.

Wishing all Bishan-Toa Payoh residents a happy National Day."

With warm regards,
Wong Kan Seng

A National Day Observance Ceremony was held at the Bishan Community Club this morning. The event opened with an early walk-athon. Residents enjoyed the carnival through their participation in the various games and exercises plus martial art display and singing. The Guest-of-Honour, DPM Wong also gave away awards to grass root leaders for their dedicated and long years of service. We would like to congratulate two special grassroot leaders, Mr. Mohamed Farook Abdul Wahab (Vice-Chairman, Bishan East, Zone 4 RC) and Mr. Sunny Wong Yoke Seng (Vice-Chairman, Bishan East C2E), on being conferred the Public Service Medal by our President, His Excellency, Mr SR Nathan.

We hope you would enjoy the photos presented below.
