SYCA invite : 

As someone who has called  Singapore home for many years, I am excited to extend a heartfelt invitation to you. My journey has been one of continuous growth, from my initial years of cultural immersion to the recent milestone of obtaining permanent residency and graduating with a Master's in Public Policy from the LKY School of Public Policy. It has been a humbling experience and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities vibrant Singapore has afforded me. Now, as my family eagerly anticipates the arrival of a newborn, I’m reminded of the profound importance of community and connection. It is with this spirit in mind that we inviting you to join us in supporting the Singapore International Cultural Festival. 

This biennial event, initiated in 2013, has become a  platform for fostering youth cultural exchange between Singapore and China. Organised by the Singapore Youth Cultural and Arts Centre, it hosts large-scale competitions in culture, sports, and arts, attracting nearly 10,000 participants from over 50 countries and regions. Since 2017, the festival has soared to new heights of influence and engagement. This year, amidst the celebration of cultural diversity, the organizing committee and us have decided to dedicate ourselves to a larger cause: Uplifting the Community. The net proceeds of the upcoming 6th Singapore International Culture Festival Award Dinner, will be donated to The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, and New Hope Community Services and it will be held at the Summer Garden Restaurant, SAFRA Mount Faber on Sunday, 28th July 2024.
