TAMPINES CHANGKAT CELEBRATES JOYOUS PONGAL (Updated 19 Jan 2012)
15 Jan 2012 was a joyous day for the residents of Tampines Changkat. Not only the indians but also the non-indian gathered at Tampines St 11, open space at Blk 138. Tampines Changkat residents celebrated the Tamil harvest festival Pongal featuring a live decorative cow and her calf for the first time this year. Pongal is celebrated with great grandeur in Singapore even though this festival is a mainly celebrated by farmers to give thanks to the gods for their harvest.
“As a multi-religious community, we celebrate the important festivals of each community in our efforts to forge a more united society. I asked our Indian community leaders to make a special effort to bring in the live decorated cows to our Pongal celebrations this year, so that we can mark the occasion in a grander style and to be truer to its symbolic rituals. Through such efforts, I hope that more of our non-Indian residents will join the celebrations and learn more about about Pongal and its significance.” Said Ms Irene Ng, Grassroots Adviser for Tampines GROs and MP for Tampines GRC.
Previously, Pongal was celebrated in the closed confines of our Community Club with mainly Hindu residents. Because of Ms Ng’s intervention, this is the first time we are bringing it into an open space near the HDB shops, so that more can know more about this Hindu festival and join in the celebrations.
Highlights of the Pongal celebration include pongal rice-cooking competition, fancy dress , mono- acting competition, children colouring competition, and rangoli competition.
