APEC economies' leaders and delegates treated to a special evening thats
uniquely Singapore
14 Nov 2009
APEC economies' leaders and delegates took time off from meetings to see
what multi-cultural Singapore has to offer.
Our news team takes a look at what they were treated to.
It was an evening that showcased Singapore's creative talents and unique
culture.
Themed "Our World, One World", the Singapore Evening's key highlight was a
half-hour musical and multimedia extravaganza.
An important element in the show - water, as it connects the APEC economies.
Singapore's vibrant multi-cultural heritage also came to life in a refreshing
way.
The show's creative director, Dick Lee, elaborates.
"I want to show, portray our culture in kind of a true and new way which is
to show our diverse culture that our multi-racial nation in a very
contemporary setting."
Lending their voices to the performance were homegrown talents like Taufik
Batisah, Vanessa Fernandez, Julia Abueva and Hady Mirza.
The other singers are Elemay Fernandez and Michaela Therese. Dancers from the
People's Association and singers from Kids Performing also took part in the
extravaganza.
Hady on what he saw unique about the show.
"Although the songs are all the same, but they are arranged in such a way
that it shows the Malay side of the song and it goes the same for the Chinese
which George is doing."
Homegrown artist George Chan, who also sang, said the audience were kept at
the edge of their seats.
"It is just the pace of the show, it is very well put together, especially
the pace of the show, quick pace of the show, it is almost like passing the
baton from one to the next."
The show built up to a colourful finale led by local songbird Kit Chan.
APEC leaders also enjoyed a fusion of Western and local culinary delights at
the waterfront area --
while delegates indulged in a buffet style dinner and learnt more about
Singapore's multi-racial culture through activities at the various themed
pavillions.
Some 350 performers entertained the delegates with ethnic performances
throughout the evening.
