NATIONAL HARMONY CELEBRATIONS
Imagine an evening of fun, fanfare and throbbing with culture. That was exactly what we experienced on the 18th of July 2009, when we celebrated an evening dedicated to National Harmony organised by the Inter-Religious Organisation (IRO).
Groups of people young and old danced in rhythmic harmony to the beats of that which is unique to their own typical culture and yet so well-blended into our modern local society. There were costumes and masks, face paint and jewellery, fashion and fiesta.
Apru Parsi nu tolu was the talk of the evening. Particularly our little creative geniuses under the auspecies of Mrs. Daisy Subaiah, who directed them in an enactment of the 'famous landing in Sanjan'. They were just beyond compare.
Not far behind were our lovely ladies in their finest garas sashaying the ramp and flooring the audience.
To top off all the excitement was an exclusive chance to meet one-to-one (even if only for a minute) and have a photo-op, with our very own President Nathan, (President of Singapore) who presided as the Chief Guest of the evening.
Such fond memories will last with us for a lifetime and we hope we have many more creative talents from within the community joining us in future performances.
