To greet the Year of the Dog, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore hosted a Chinese New Year Gathering for some 130 guests from the diplomatic, business, academic, media and Hong Kong community circles on March 5. The evening event was held at the iconic Asian Civilisations Museum, a unique historical building housing Singapore’s Asian heritage. Kicking off the event, HKETO celebrated the new year with the traditional “Lo Hei” by the waterfront where spectacular views of the Singapore River and central business district skyline were showcased.

It was a blissful evening filled with hearty laughter and fantastic mingling. Be it reunion of old friends or introduction to new contacts, the joyous occasion provided a great platform for networking.
