Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (“SFCCA”) celebrates a significant milestone this year – its 40th anniversary—marking a key phase in the Chinese community’s continued development and renewal. To celebrate this occasion, SFCCA held its 40th Anniversary Logo Unveiling Ceremony this morning at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. Minister for Culture, Community and Youth & Second Minister for Law, Mr Edwin Tong officiated the ceremony, with 100 representatives from clan associations, Chinese community organisations, and government agencies, attending to witness this significant occasion.
The newly released anniversary logo signifies SFCCA entering into a new chapter of development, welcoming a future guided by both legacy and innovation. The anniversary theme, “Harness Community Spirit, Unite in Action, Build a New Chapter Together” (abbreviated as HUB, Mandarin: 和衷共济·同行绘新), highlights the spirit of unity and collective progress. It underscores the strong partnerships SFCCA has cultivated across society, and its aspiration to co-create a future that honours heritage while embracing innovation – resonating deeply with the Federation’s core ethos: “Forging Ahead with Legacy and Innovation”. To further strengthen bonds within the community and promote cultural values, SFCCA will be launching a series of commemorative events throughout the year, including the Duanwu Carnival, SFCCA Youth Sports Festival, and National Day Sing-Along, among other exciting initiatives.
At the Anniversary Logo Unveiling Ceremony, SFCCA and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth also jointly announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), reaffirming their shared commitment to deepening collaboration, to continue strengthening Singapore Chinese culture, and enhancing social harmony and community cohesion.
Additionally, the 4th edition of the Heartstrings of Singapore Photography Competition, jointly organised by SFCCA and Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC), also held its awards presentation ceremony. Following rigorous judging, winners across various categories were selected and received their awards from Minister Edwin Tong. These 46 award-winning photographs together with some 100 other shortlisted works are also on display at the SCCC’s Multi-Purpose Hall (Level 7) today and tomorrow. From 28 April to 26 May, the public can view the exhibition at Ang Mo Kio Public Library, daily from 10.00am to 9.00pm. Through the lenses of local photographers, the exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Singapore’s urban landscape and cultural spirit.
