Representative Francis Kuo-Hsin Liang attended the Singapore Kim Mui Hoey Kuan’s Lunar New Year Gathering 2020 on 26 January 2020 at the invitation of the association’s President, Mr. Chua Kee Seng. Also present at the gathering were Deputy Representative Steven Tai, and other officials from the Taipei Representative Office in Singapore with their families.
Celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, the association’s Lunar New Year Gathering saw a lively lion dance performance, and the unveiling of its sesquicentennial logo by Representative Francis Liang and Mr. Chua Kee Seng.
In his address, Representative Francis Liang conveyed his best wishes for the Singapore Kim Mui Hoey Kuan and extended his Lunar New Year greetings to everyone. He spoke of the exchanges between Taiwan and Singapore in the areas of economy, education, culture and tourism in 2019, and expressed his wishes for closer and expanded bilateral cooperation between the two countries. He also hoped that the association would continue to grow from strength to strength.
Adding more festive cheer at the gathering were the 25 dancers from the University of Taipei. The university, which has been invited by Singapore to perform at the annual River Hongbao Festival 2020, gave a crowd-pleasing performance at the gathering. In addition, Representative Liang, joined by the office bearers of the Singapore Kim Mui Hoey Kuan and their spouses, sang three Lunar New Year songs on stage to share the holiday spirit.
