From 5.30pm to 7.30pm, the fifth “Woof Woof Day Out” was held in Limbang. While usually held in Limbang Park, upgrading works moved the event to the nearby Stagmont Park instead.
Our Limbang called for residents to bring their pets for a “pawsome day” with free admission. However, purchasing a S$2 ticket also included a goodie bag, snacks, and a lucky draw ticket.
PM Wong, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Limbang division, attended the event.
In the “Meet-the-Puppies” session, PM Wong happily greeted the cute dogs at the park.

There was also a best-dressed pet competition and a dog obstacle course.
PM Wong happily took selfies and spoke to the (human) residents in what many deemed an enjoyable event.
He ended his Facebook post by saying that Limbang Park will reopen later this year with a new dog run.
In the comments, netizens praised PM Wong for the “great event”, while others were inspired by his love for animals and the community.
