Who's Your Neighbour?
Singapore HeritageFest 2009, 15 - 26 July
Who lives next door to you? How well do you know them? With our busy lives today, many of us would probably head right home after work, shutting the door after us. How many of us leave our doors open, or have a word of greeting for our neighbours we meet in the lifts?
If you miss interacting with your neighbours, then come and rediscover your neighbours this Singapore HeritageFest. Know your neighbours better. Reconnect with your neighbours again. After all, as the old saying goes, a good neighbour beats a distant relative!
