WP MP Louis Chua: National Day more than just parade, it’s about coming together as a community, neighbours checking in

Over the weekend, Workers' Party Member of Parliament Louis Chua noted that the past few weeks have been busy for National Day celebrations in Sengkang. However, Chua emphasized that "National Day isn’t just the parade on TV. It’s also about coming together as a community, neighbours checking in on neighbours, all year round." Since the WP won the Sengkang GRC in the 2020 election, Chua, along with He Ting Ru, Jamus Lim, and Abdul Muhaimin, has been actively engaging with the community through Meet the People Sessions and other events.

This year, the WP team distributed National Day mementoes to residents and provided groceries to those in need. The highlight of the celebrations was Colours in the Park, an annual event featuring various activities for families, including contests, musical performances, and food booths. This year, the event took place at Anchorvale Gardens instead of the usual Sengkang Sculpture Park.

WP Secretary-General Pritam Singh attended the event and expressed his delight in seeing children coloring and engaging with volunteers and residents. He also congratulated the Sengkang team on a successful event and noted the importance of coloring, which he found beneficial for people of all ages. Notable Aljunied MPs Fadli Fawzi, Kenneth Tiong, and Sylvia Lim, along with the party chair, were also present at the event.
