Woodlands residents come together to decorate corridor

On Tuesday (12 Apr), ex-MP Amrin Amin shared photos showing the 6th-floor corridors of 693D Woodlands Avenue 6 decked out in Hari Raya festive lights.

Hari Raya is a holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. While it is predominantly celebrated by the Muslim community, everyone else is welcome to join the festive cheer.

Mr Amrin shared that Mr Ang, a Chinese resident staying on that floor, also helped to set up the decorations.

From the pictures, neighbours were also seen having a gathering under the festive lights.

Mr Amrin said he met ‘Penghulu’ Abdul Wahab on Saturday (9 Apr) — Penghulu is a Malay term for “village chief”. According to him, the atmosphere was energetic and warm. The residents apparently told him that they wanted to demonstrate the kampong spirit through actions rather than simply words.

This inspired and motivated them to come together and bring joy to others with their community spirit.

Sharing the joy of Hari Raya with everyone

The initiative by the Woodlands residents perfectly exemplifies the kampong spirit that we often talk about.

 

We hope that the residents have a joyous Hari Raya and make this an annual bonding activity for the years to come.
