National Day EZ-Link Cards Available On Shopee From 30 Jul
With National Day around the corner, more is being done to hype citizens up for the celebration.
This year, EZ-Link partnered with local artist Lee Kow Fong, also known as Ah Guo, to create a set of limited edition National Day EZ-Link cards.
While National Day celebrations may be muted this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, we shouldn’t let it stand in the way of us showing our love for the nation.
National Day EZ-Link cards to bring joy during this dark period
The EZ-Link cards will feature Ah Guo’s illustrations, which he designed last year.
Ah Guo is a renowned local artist who specialises in watercolour illustrations. His art mirrors a childlike fashion to appeal to people from all walks of life.
The theme of the cards will be in line with this year’s National Day theme, “Together, Our Singapore Spirit”.
Ah Guo’s inspiration for these pieces came from Singapore’s spirit of resilience during these challenging times. He hopes that Singapore will emerge as a stronger nation together.
I have always wanted to use my art as a means to inspire people, and help them stay calm and positive.
Here’s a closer look at the meaningful designs to signify our Singapore Spirit.
1. A Vibrant Future

2. Higher We Go!

The main feature of this illustration is a young father lifting his daughter. According to Ah Guo, this symbolises Singapore as a young nation with much potential yet to be explored.
Illustrations represent Singapore’s resilience
This set of cards represents Singapore’s spirit and our resilience during this tough period. It also signifies hope for a happier and stronger community after the pandemic.
Ah Guo hopes that his art would help Singaporeans feel more hopeful about the future.
This is more important now than ever before as we battle through the pandemic, and I am heartened to be able to share my illustrations and bring joy to Singaporeans during this time.
Chief Executive Officer of EZ-Link, Mr Nicholas Lee, hopes that Ah Guo’s illustrations would inspire the daily lives of everyday people.
