Mass Birthday cum Karaoke Gathering @ Linkhall @ Blk 63 @ 6.30 pm

The Toa Payoh Central Zone ‘1’ Residents’ Committee (RC) organised a Mass Birthday cum Karaoke Gathering for about 200 residents on 12 December 2009 at the Linkhall at Blk 63 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh. The objective was to bring residents together for a night of enjoyment to celebrate the end of the year 2009. The event was privileged to be graced by Mr Wong Kan Seng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, and Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. Mr Wong, together with some December birthday babies, sang the birthday song and cut a birthday cake. DPM Wong also obliged spontaneously to the impromptu request to sing the Hokkien song "爱拼才会赢". The residents enjoyed as DPM Wong sang and clapped and sang along too. The residents also had a great time playing bingo games.

Here are some photos taken from the event.
