Representative Francis Kuo-Hsin Liang and Mr. Tan Chuan-Jin, Singapore’s Minister for Social and Family Development, were invited as the special guest and the guest-of-honor respectively by the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple Association (LKCSHTA) in Singapore to its Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) light-up cum temple fair on 25 January 2017.
Over a thousand devotees and residents attended the temple fair activities which were split at two locations, with simultaneous variety singing and opera performances. The Xiuqin Gezai Opera Troupe from Tainan, Taiwan was once again invited to perform in Singapore for the 17-day spring festival temple fair. Both Mr. Tan Tee Sea, PBM, Chairman of LKCSHTA and Mr. Tan Thiam Lye, BBM, Chairman of the Taoist Federation, warmly welcomed Representative Liang and conveyed their appreciation to him for taking time out of his schedule to attend the event. They also commended the Xiuqin Gezai Opera Troupe, whose stellar performance would always attract packed audiences. In his turn, Representative Liang conveyed Chinese New Year greetings to all and hoped that everyone would enjoy themselves at the fair.
