SINGAPORE: The Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan organised
its Lunar New Year get-together on Saturday evening.
The event saw more than 250 people from 29 Fujian-related clan
associations.
Acting Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister Chan Chun
Sing graced the event, which traditionally marks an opportunity for
clans to gather and renew ties.
In his address, Mr Chan noted the importance of leadership renewal
- something he said the association has done well.
The Hokkien Huay Kuan was recently awarded one of the five
prestigious Clan of the Year Awards by the Federation of Chinese
Clan Associations.
