Yong-en celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 in special way. With the support of Deutsche Bank, we hosted a lantern walk and supper party, bringing together every part of our community – children, youths and seniors, volunteers, local businesses and staff, for an evening of connection, warmth, and joy.

The event showed the strength and potential of a community coming together:

• Jalan Kukoh hawkers extended their operating hours to cater drinks and food for our participants.
• Kukoh+ youths took lead in designing the lantern walk route, showing initiative and ownership.
• Volunteers were both befrienders and participants, bringing warmth, laughter, and camaraderie that lit up the evening.
• Yong-en staff from various departments, served the community throughout the evening.

The celebration is a shared opportunity where strengths are recognised, bonds are built at events like Moonwalk 2.0; we hope to nurture these connections, engage more deeply with the assets and talents within the neighbourhoods. Stay tuned for more of such community events in 2026!
