Quotes from Past Events:

See a short video compilation from 2025's event: https://youtube.com/shorts/uAN3bcnE2fw?feature=share

I enjoyed the lion dance the most. It was massive and majestic.

The performance, food and an event to meet friends are the most enjoyable

It was very well organized. Great event! The food was very good.

Hope you had lots of fun - thank you so much for pulling in the time to make it an amazing event for everyone there!

Meeting the people there!

Great event last night, my kids love it!

The event was professional run and well planned out in every aspect. It’s not an easy task to run and plan such a big event. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the community!

Thanks so much for putting this event together. It's great to get to meet the rest of the Singapore/Malaysian community

Last year's Lion Dance Troupe will be back!

Volunteer to help:

We at SingaporeConnect graciously thank all volunteers for their spirit and enthusiasm who help us make these events possible. We are still looking for more volunteers, such as to MC, find sponsors, and entertainment. Please visit this page to learn more about SingaporeConnect and our volunteer opportunities.

One small ask:

We at SingaporeConnect believe strongly in making our events as accessible as we can, including to students and families with children. SingaporeConnect does not automatically receive annual grants from the Singapore Government or other organisations. We are funded primarily by sponsors, donors, and ticket prices, striving to break even for each event we hold. Where we have small surpluses, we use them for our operations, such as for IT tools, and services, such as for administration related to our non-profit status. For more information, visit our web site FAQ here.

For this event, SingaporeConnect is sponsoring $2,000 towards the event, out of this surplus.

During checkout, you will be presented an option to:

  • Offer a donation on top of your ticket price to SingaporeConnect, to help maintain our funds to operate and continue to bring memorable events to you and our community.
  • Cover the processing fees related to credit card and the payment service that this platform, GiveButter, provides.
  • Offer a donation to this platform, Givebutter, that enables non-profits like us to take in donations.

Your donation, your preferred processing fee and tip to Givebutter are entirely voluntary and can be adjusted to any custom amount (including $0).

In addition:
  • The lion dance performance will be loud, especially depending on the location of the percussion instruments, subject to the on-site determination by the lion dance troupe. Indoor room acoustics will also amplify the sound with echoes. Your assigned table may be near those instruments. We recommend that you bring ear muffs for children and musician's ear plugs for adults. A limited supply of disposable ear plugs will be available at check-in.
  • This is SingaporeConnect's privacy statement.
  • If you'll like to sit together with your friends or family, the best way to do so is to purchase a table and distribute the seats yourself. You may also specify preferred person(s) (please use their name, instead of a pseudonym such as "Huat Ah!") during registration and we will try our best to accommodate.
