A group of organizations - churches, vwos etc. decided to have a banquet to honour the people who have come to work and help build Singapore to what it is today. It was held over a period of 3 days for different groups of people of different nationalities - Chinese, Bangladeshis, Filipinos, Indonesians, Indians, Myanmese(?), Thais. Apart from food, there were programs planned to suit their different tastes.
It was nice time, think about 100k+ people attended over the few days. I even heard from a lady that attended that this was the first time she's felt like a guest in this country and not a second class citizen. Think we've a long way to go in being a gracious and giving society, but no matter, one step at a time.
