YEAR-END COUNTDOWN COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES GO
VIRTUAL FOR THE FIRST TIME
Virtual programmes connect residents with hope and optimism towards the
new year

          As 2020 comes to a close and we approach Phase 3 of Re-opening,
we need to remain vigilant particularly during festive periods. Residents have
always looked forward to our rousing community year-end countdown
programmes which attract large crowds, including families. This year, our year-
end countdown community programmes will go virtual for the first time as we
continue to stay connected with each other. Residents will find many exciting
programmes put together by the constituencies organising committees
comprising volunteers and staff. They took the past months to plan and bring
programme novelties in a safe way as families enjoy them virtually in the comfort
of their homes.

2         There will be 16 virtual engagement programmes lined up at the
various constituencies. At the Bedok Countdown virtual event, residents can look
forward to a silent disco and participate in penning down New Year wishes for
themselves and the nation. Over at Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC Virtual Countdown
2021, there will be a good mix of celebrity emcee and local musicians performing
live. Residents can also participate in the "MY Favourite 2020 Family Moment
Contest" to share their most memorable moments of the year. At the 2021
Countdown@Nanyang, other than live band performances and interactive
games, families will be invited online to share their experiences during COVID
and their wishes for 2021. Several of the virtual programmes will end off with a
live streaming of fireworks – symbolising our hopes and aspirations as we come

                                           1
together as one community to reflect and look forward to a united and stronger
2021. Refer to Annexes for more information.

3             We hope that residents can join our virtual programmes online and
come together as a community to reflect the past and look forward to the new
year with hope, optimism and confidence.
