Celebrating Together. Birthday Cake at Every Table |
It was a promise made last year that the 20th Anniversary celebration will be bigger and better. There was no doubt that the Seng Clan lived up to its promise because the event took off in a big way that was fun, exciting and memorable.
Theme (四海成一家)
To start off, the organising committee adopted the theme 四海成一家 in Mandarin from the 2nd World Seng Clan Conference to signify unity in diversity and in English Same Seng but Different.

20 years of history was condensed , captured and preserved for posterity in a box for all future generations of Seng.

It was a 20/20 celebration with 20 dinner tables at Swatow Seafood Restaurant at Blk 181 Toa Payoh. To commemorate the occasion, we invited our Adviser Mr Seng Han Thong, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC as the Guest-of-Honour and Mr Ker Sin Tze as the Special Guest. Mr Ker officiated at the Clan's Inauguration on 3 Mar 1993 and it was certainly a good way to remember him.
The highlight was a unique giant cake shaped in the form of a peach for the cake-cutting ceremony. Every dinner table had a smaller peach and everyone joined in the ceremony to rousing cheers of 四海成一家. There were performances to entertain the young (magical moments) and the adults (changing costumes). Everyone was all praise for a delightful and memorable evening which will long be etched in their mind.
