The OCL Student Council president Pan Bo Zhong, in his brief address, welcomed the students and guests before inviting them to enjoy the food laid out.
The students served up satay, chicken murtabak, fried mee hoon, white rice with chicken gravy, karipap, cakes and cookies for the occasion.
YUMMY FOOD AT THE OPEN HOUSE.
Students also enjoyed themselves playing congkak and spinning the gasing, bringing focus to these Malay traditional games that have gone on the back burner in the face of online games and apps.
Kudos to the Student Council for their effort to promote harmony and to revive interest in the traditional games of the past!
STAFF AND STUDENTS ENJOY GOOD COMPANY AND GOOD FOOD BY THE SEA.
