Eurasian Cultural Booth at

Prime Minister’s Chinese New Year Garden Party 2023

The EA was proud to be part of four interactive booths at Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s annual Chinese New Year Garden Party, held on 5 February at the Istana.

EA's booth offered two activities; a magnet badge making activity, and photo-taking corner where guests could dress up in a Portuguese Eurasian dance costume to take photos.

Organised by People's Association, President Halimah Yacob also graced the appreciation event, held for grassroots leaders, volunteers and guests.
