WATCH: For the past three years, Mr Abdullah Abdul Rahman has been putting up Chinese New Year decorations along the corridor to cheer up his senior neighbours even though he does not celebrate the festival. Read more:
This year’s decorations include a drum set, an entire wall with four-character Chinese New Year couplets, posters with rabbits on them and even a motion-sensing gadget that gives a new year greeting to anyone who walks past.
Ms Ng said that the neighbours are a close-knit group and they have all been living in flats along the same corridor for more than 20 years. So, since 2019, for a few weeks before every Chinese New Year, the families meet and discuss the theme of the year. Once all purchases are made, Ms Ko then tallies up the total amount and calculates how much each household has to pay, based on the number of people in their household.Unlike the residents in Woodlands, another group of residents at Block 840 on Jurong West Street 81 said that they hung up their decorations on their own initiative without much discussion.
Although they do not coordinate their efforts in the same way as the Woodlands residents, when TODAY visited the Jurong West block on Monday , the decorations along the entire corridor blended in well, with no one piece of ornament that seemed out of place.Even though Chinese New Year is typically celebrated by those of Chinese heritage, some non-Chinese Singaporeans said that they participate in it anyway to enter into the community spirit.
