Neighbours come together, laying out tables and dishes. Plates of food get passed around, and people join in on a traditional dance routine as a Hari Raya song plays in the background.

A Hari Raya-themed video released by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) recently was inspired by residents on the 14th storey of Block 591A, Montreal Link in Sembawang.

The five families are of different races and religions but they still gather for a meal together about once a month.

“We want to celebrate the gotong royong spirit exemplified by these neighbourhood get-togethers,” said a spokesman for MCCY.

There are several familiar faces in the video, such as Malaysia-based Singaporean singer Aisyah Aziz, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Grace Fu and Parliamentary Secretary Baey Yam Keng.

Aisyah, who can be seen in the opening sequence of the video, lends her voice to the accompanying song, an original titled Selamat Berhari Raya written by MCCY’s creative team and produced by Mr Bang Wenfu.
