Program for the night
The installation was a total success with plenty of fun, laughter and audience participation. And all this could not have been done with our wonderful guests and friends who went to such great lengths to dress themselves for the occasion despite the dress code being “Exotic India”. In the run up to the installation, we also had 2 fund raising activities, which is the Kachang Puteh Man and Song dedications which were well received.

To start off the installation, we had a short video-clip comprising mostly the members and guests of RAC Singapore West. It was our very own version of Bollywood filmed at one of our local parks – Toa Payoh Park. (* VIEW THE VIDEO HERE! *) This was then followed by the usual protocol, roll call and toasting. Shortly after this, the installation of the new board began, with the appreciation of outgoing board of directors kick starting this. Then, this was followed by a speech by outgoing President Yi Ling. After her speech, she handed over to the Incoming President Eileen, who introduced her incoming board of directors. President Eileen also gave a short speech afterwards.
Handover of duties
After all formalities were done, it was time to have fun. But of course, we can’t have fun without dinner. Thus, dinner was served. With the mouth-watering spread and variety of food, consisting of North Indian cuisine, our guests and friends helped themselves for second servings.
Then it was time to have fun! Thus, we had lined up a dressing game in which the best dresser from each respective group would win. They were given some materials such as crepe paper, garbage bags, safety pins and more to assist them in the game. It was all good fun as they had a wonderful time dressing up their friends and let their imaginations run wild.
The winner of the Dress-Up Game - the bashful Indian bride! (And her attendants.)We also played another game “Dhal or No Dhal” with the similiar game format of “Deal or No Deal.” The only difference is that instead of pressing the button to indicate they have made their decision to deal, we replaced it with dhal and by eating it, it would indicate their decision to deal. And the chance of winning back their ticket price made it more interesting. The game was very well received and there were lots of laughter with DRR Zakir hosting the game. Congratulations to our contestants too who won some cash in the game.
Lastly, on behalf the club and organizing committee, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making this installation a success. Without you, it would not been much of a success. A big “Thank you” also going out to our guest of honor, DRC PP John Ng and Chua Geok Lian for your kind sponsorship.
