The Singapore Kindness Movement launches a campaign to
encourage more Singaporeans to smile, by placing mirrors at
selected bus stops along Orchard Rd and Tanjong Pagar
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Kindness Movement hopes
Singaporeans can take a moment from their daily activities to smile
more.
To encourage this, mirrors have been put up at selected bus stops
along Orchard Road and Tanjong Pagar.
Mr Teh Thien Yew, General Manager of the Movement says the movement
thought having mirrors in public places would be helpful for
everyone to do a quick check on themselves.
He hopes that by putting on a smile, it will bring on a smile on
another person and pass graciousness on.
The campaign is timed to support Singapore's hosting of the
inaugural Youth Olympic Games.
The mirrors will take the form of a trophy with a tagline - "Let's
Champion a Smile and Bring on the Cheer at Singapore 2010!"
Mr Teh adds that the movement also hopes to inculcate in the young
athletes the Olympic values of Friendship, Respect and
Excellence.
In line with the campaign, the movement's roving video booth also
made its way around libraries and shopping malls in early June till
end July.
The booth collected "smile greetings" of Singaporeans welcoming
foreign athletes and delegates to the games.
Some videos have been selected and incorporated into a video
commercial that's currently aired at selected public spots.
