the programmes are planned with them in mind. In experiencing these performances, we

hope they can also enjoy the varied performances taking place during the festival and

rediscover their heritage. This year, we also invite our audiences to treasure and celebrate

the gems that are at the heart of the Malay community as we learn more about their

contributions to Singapore.”
