On 15 August 2025, NUS Alumni Sing-Along was honoured to be one of the community partners at the SG60 National Day celebration, held at Block 48A Strathmore Avenue and hosted by the newly rebranded Cedar Tree Active Ageing Centre (formerly Esther Active Ageing Centre). The festive gathering brought together about 150 residents, who enjoyed a vibrant line-up of performances including dance, karaoke, and a delightful rendition of this year’s theme song “Here We Are” by the children of PCF Sparkletots. The event was graced by Dr Andrew Lim, PCS Executive Director, and Mr Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary of Queenstown SMC. NUS Alumni Sing-Along featured its Ukulele Interest Group, led by Alice Cheng, with lively cheerleaders helping to energise the crowd. With lyrics projected on screen, residents joined in the singalong with great enthusiasm. A memorable highlight of the afternoon was Mr Eric Chua singing along with the group for the entire session, much to the delight of the audience. The celebration was a meaningful way to mark SG60, bringing joy, music, and togetherness to the community.
