Gardens By The Bay Mid Autumn Festival 濱海灣花園慶中秋（12-27 Sep 2026) #singapore #midautumnfestival

很快樂的冬季節慶 如果我可以掃描答案,然後可以看到答案 看到你了 等下我來吃飯 怎麼了? 她在摸我手 傑西 我再次在這裡慶祝今年冬季節的慶典 今年冬季節的慶典 我們也在慶祝今年冬季節的十四項慶典 所以這次慶典 已經是我們大部分的家庭的慶典 從一開始開始 And I'm very happy to see that it has grown to become one of the best works of it's celebration. So this is very much in keeping with the Garden Society's vision to be a people's garden. It is not just a place that people visit once, it is a place that belongs to our community. That Singaporeans will visit year after year, time after time, to enjoy nature, to celebrate important occasions, and most importantly to spend time with family and friends. Over time, these shared experiences become our shared memories, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a testament to this vision. One thing I look forward to in the Garden's Mid-Autumn Festival is how they bring together tradition and new ideas. We celebrate customs and heritage associated with Mid-Autumn Festival, while finding fresh, distinctly Singaporean ways to bring them to life. In recent years, the Garden has also been working with our local creative talent to introduce new ideas and fresh perspectives. About this year's festival, team Yi Huan Zou Xiu, which translates into a Mid-Autumn Fantasy Dish, the Garden has collaborated with renowned Singaporean creator Lim Shao-kun. I'm very glad Shao-kun is here with us this evening. Give him a round of applause. Some of us remember the famous guinea spout advertisement from the 1990s, whereby celebrity George Lam asked a caveman, Are you afraid of the dark? Shao-kun was the creative talent behind this iconic advertisement, and she has since made many other contributions to Singapore's creative and media industries, and she received the President's Design Award. I also must say that Shao-kun has served many years together with Minister Hong Yi Kang and myself at the CDAC, and she's the one who came up with the tagline for CDAC, 藝人典型社會更新, so we have a lot to thank Shao-kun for. Shao-kun's latest creation is Fen Bao, you can see it in the next slide. If you see it, it reminds you of somebody, look at her again. So this is a very enduring character, who is forever five years old, and embodies values such as creativity, energy, kindness. Fen Bao also loves nature, and brings this year's Mid-Autumn Festival a childlike heart of imagination and adventure, all the things that make our childhood special and meaningful. This year, Fen Bao and her friends will take us on a mid-autumn adventure through the gardens, giving a familiar festival a fresh start and an increase. So as I said earlier, combining traditions will be like this. So ladies and gentlemen, I hope this will encourage our children and young Singaporeans to experience and enjoy our traditions in their own way, because traditions stay meaningful when we continue to celebrate them together, while finding new ways to pass them from one generation. I would also like to encourage everyone to take some time this evening to enjoy the beautiful lantern display and most importantly, to enjoy the company of your friends and family. And I hope you will create many happy memories together here in our people's gardens. Let me end my speech by wishing everyone a very happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 讓我祝大家送春節快樂! 謝謝大家!Thank you! Thank you, Minister, and we would like to invite you to stay on stage with us, as I invite Mr. Felix Law, CEO of Gardens By The Bay, and Ms. Law Hun Yan, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese Media Group, SPH Media, to join us here to officially launch Mid-Autumn Festival 2026.

So on my count of three, Mr. Chi, we will officiate the Gardens By The Bay Mid-Autumn Festival by striking the gong. Ready? One, two, three. Do you have this now? Yes. Mommy.
