The event was hosted at the Kampung's function hall. Dato' Ti's arrival was warmly received by Mr. Laow (right) and Ms. Laow:
Welcoming Dato' Ti
And an energetic performance of dragon dance gave the evening a vibrant start:
Dragon dance 01
Dragon dance 02
Dragon dance 03
Skillfully performed by our local young folks, the dragon dance troupe (I'll find out the name and post it here) aspires to be the best in this traditional performing art, paying tribute to the jewel of the Chinese culture.
The members of the village task committee (JKK) wished the residents Happy "Niu" Year, with much joy and hope in embrace of the coming of a new season:
Happy "Niu" Year, folks!
Dato' Ti addressing the audience
Ti also commended Mr. Laow's commitment in executing his office as the JKK chief in service of the people. "We esteem leaders who ask nothing in return for their service, and we salute those who genuinely sacrifice themselves in answering the call to serve the people."
"The young generation should rethink their purpose in life. Are they contented with minding their own career and family and leisure? Would the young people emulate the courage and spirit exemplified by their seniors? Would the young people aspire to excel in serving the people?" May we reflect deeply upon Dato' Ti's words of wisdom amidst the festive mood.
And let's makan!

Kampung Baru JKK chief Mr. Laow in his welcome address stressed the importance of staying united as one Kampung, to share the joy of the season as well as to embrace the many challenges presented by the everchanging political scene that are to come.
Mr. Laow Weng Choon delivering his welcome speech
Dato' Ti's keynote address followed: families yours and mine, are the units from which a community is built, and we receive the coming of the Chinese New Year with family values.
"The gathering tonight is simple, food is simple, and I sincerely hope that the spirit of fellowship and joy warm our hearts. It is not by way of wanton spending and grandiose publicity that we reach out to the people. Let not materialism and the want of fame dilute the meaning of staying united as one big family".
