PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong ushered in the new year amid dazzling fireworks together with more than 20,000 residents in Serangoon last Friday night.
He was at a countdown party organised by the Serangoon Citizens Consultative Committee.
Dubbed ‘Serangoon Swing 2011’, it got off to a rousing start at 6pm with line dancing, bouncing castles and a foam party booth.
The Serangoon Gardens Circus was filled to full capacity as thousands thronged the specially built stage to watch local media artists such as Rui En and Jeanette Aw perform.
As midnight drew close, Mr Lee joined the artists and celebrities on stage to ring in the new year, adding his own well wishes for Singapore.
‘We have had a very good 2010,’ he said. ‘Let’s work together, climb new heights and break new ground, and make Singapore even better in 2011.’

Note from Serangoon Swing’s organisers:
We are expecting 30 000 people on the day. The centre stage will be right at the Circus itself with the Serangoon Garden Way, Kensington Park Road and Maju Ave cordoned off.
The bus services that usually enter the Serangoon Garden Circus are diverted slightly but the nearest bus stops are not more then 100m away from the party centre i.e. the Serangoon Garden Circus itself.
Hope you will join us and do bring your family and friends on New Year’s Eve.
