NEE SOON SOUTH – PRIVATE ESTATE RESIDENTS CELEBRATE LUNAR YEAR TOGETHER.
31st January 2009 was a nightmarish evening for motorists driving into the Springside Estate as the roads lining the estate was choc-a-bloc with cars, vans and lorries – but no one is complaining. The reason is two stretches of streets were partially closed for residents, literally neighbours living side-by-side, to turn out in full force to celebrate the beginning of Spring in the Year of the Ox. Er Lee Bee Wah, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC and Advisor to Nee Soon South Grassroots Organizations was invited to both locations to join in the festive celebrations that included a total of 14 prancing lions and dragons. Along the way, she also popped into units where large family members were gathered together.
The Springside estate is also a rare community where neighbours pool money together to light up their streets. Residents at Springside Green also whipped up dishes to pile up a 12 meter long table of pot luck. There’s never a dull moment as neighbours, young and old took the opportunity to catch up with one another during the deserving holiday break.
The fiery dragon dance at Springside Green paves the way for Good Luck & Good Fortune to come by.
