BISHAN NORTH RC ZONES 3 AND 4 GRASSROOTS EVENTS

On 23 October 2010, Bishan North Zone 3 RC and residents welcomed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs and Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, Mr Wong Kan Seng to celebrate the RC ’s 13th Anniversary.

Residents were entertained by a music performance put up by two of their own residents. The Guest-of-Honour presented the prizes to the winners of the Mahjong Tournament-Mind Game Challenge 2010 held earlier in the afternoon. The highlight of the evening was when DPM Wong was invited to join the RC members on stage for a cake cutting ceremony before the RC Chairman cut the cake.

During the event, residents were also invited to view the People’s Association 50th Anniversary GRC Exhibition. The exhibition traced back the history and development of Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC over the years which helped brought many nostalgic and cherished memories for the residents. While viewing the exhibits, DPM Wong shared many thoughts and fruitful conversations with the community about the past, present, and future of Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

On the same evening, Bishan North Zone 4 RC organised the “Garden Party cum BBQ Nite” for their residents. Mr Show Goon Yean, Chairman of the RC hosted the visit by Mr Wong Kan Seng.

While residents were enjoying the BBQ food, free flow of pop corn and candy floss, children were having the best of time on the air-blown bouncer, jumping and bouncing non-stop with laughter. Games were also organised for the residents. The highlight of the evening was the magic show where the magician performed intriguing tricks, and even merged oneself into a big balloon. After catching a short segment of the magic show, DPM Wong took a group photograph with new Singapore Citizens who have moved into the estate.
