Singapore | Fun run organised to celebrate opening of HDB's Punggol Waterway

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) is working with the McDonald's fast-food chain on a jointly organised fun run to be held during the official opening of HDB's Punggol Waterway this Sunday.

The event aims to foster community spirit through various activities, such as the waterway run. So far, response has been encouraging, with 900 sign-ups within the first three days of registration.

Highlights will include an official opening by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, as well as games, merchandise stalls, performances and pyrotechnics.

Dr Cheong Koon Hean, CEO of HDB, said, "HDB does not just provide housing alone. HDB also cares about bringing communities together. A fun run like this is a great way to get our residents to enjoy activities and to get to know each other. And now that we have a beautiful venue like Punggol Waterway, I am looking forward to more of such community events in the future."

Looking ahead, both HDB and McDonald's will collaborate on other projects to encourage community participation and healthy living in Singapore.
