SUKA Singapore National Day Fiesta \u2013 5 August 2023 \u2013 A Review<\/h3>

Hello SUKA family and friends<\/b><\/p>

Thank you to each and everyone of you who was part of celebrating Singapore\u2019s 58th birthday!<\/p>

We had 420 guests attending the fair. A big<\/strong> thank you to our supporters, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, donors, performer, venue, caterers, SGN, NUS, SYNC and UKSSC.<\/strong><\/p>

The day started with the fair which kicked off at 1030am. There were 17 exhibitors<\/strong> who were selling various Singaporean treats including classic hawker dishes and coffee. Our President Anu made pandan cakes for sale in one of the stalls<\/strong>.<\/p>

Most of the proceeds of the fair will be donated to the Refuge charity. In the end, we raised \u00a34,650 for Refuge.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The lunch started with a speech from Anu, followed by the High Commissioner<\/strong> who shared about the latest economic outlook in Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>

The attendees sang the National Anthem and we had cake cutting to mark Singapore’s 58th National Day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Thereafter, the guests had a Singapore-themed buffet lunch catered by Rasa Sayang<\/strong> and were treated to a musical performance by Viveck Raam<\/strong> who sang Singapore National Day songs ‘Home’ and ‘Where I Belong’.\u00a0<\/p>

The best dressed award was a difficult one for our judges to assess given that many attendees had dressed well for the occasion.\u00a0<\/p>

The programme continued with a challenging Singapore-themed quiz, courtesy of Aparnaa and Russell<\/strong> who thoroughly tested the attendees’ knowledge about Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>

The event finished with our popular raffle draw<\/strong> where guests with raffle tickets stood a chance to win a whopping total of 29 prizes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The SUKA Exco would like to make our special thanks to High Commissioner Mr Lim Thuan Kuan and Mrs Lim<\/strong> who graced the occasion with warmth and engaged until the very end with the guests.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
