Home – Keeping It Together

The warmth in your heart that keeps you going is a place called Home….

"Home – Keeping It Together" is the theme for Total Defence 2011. The campaign seeks to remind Singaporeans that Singapore is worth defending on all fronts, simply because it’s home.

Total Defence 2011 is anchored on the song "Home", a Singaporean classic written by Dick Lee and originally sung by Kit Chan. The lyrics of "Home" reflect Singaporeans’ treasured memories and shared dreams for the future, whether they are living in Singapore or abroad.

The video showcases a new arrangement of "Home" and features iconic local singers from various generations including Ramli Sarip, Jacintha Abishenagaden, Kit Chan, Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin and more! You can do your part for charity by downloading the music video; every download will be matched by a pledged donation to ComChest by a private corporation.

A Sizzling CNY Market Visit- A First Of Its Kind Mexican Fire In The Heartland Experience At Bukit Batok East Point Mall

Bukit Batok East residents ooo-ed and aaa-ed in delight as the dazzling fireball rolled towards them on the grounds of Blk 279 on Sunday. The Mexican Purepecha and Cornisa performers brought Chingay into the heartland as they entertained BBE residents with an exhilarating fireball game and comedic theatric act.


Mdm Halimah Yacob, Member of Parliament and Adviser to Jurong GRC GROs met up with His Excellency Antonio Villegas and his wife Mrs. Claudia Villegas from the Embassy of Mexico and together with our grassroots leaders, played a mean game of Purepecha! It was an exciting and meaningful exchange of cultures as the Mexican Ambassadors basked in the hospitality of our Bukit Batok East heartlanders.

The FIREBALL game is extremely popular and unique to the Purépecha people of Mexico, and the fireball represents the sun and honours the god of fire in this ritualistic sport. This was the first time where BBE residents got to experience the festivity and magic of Chingay during a Market Visit. Many families were all smiles as they took home these memories by taking a picture with the hunky Mexican warriors.
