Outing to Geylang Serai Bazaar

SWUPS organised a pre-Hari Raya lunchtime trip to the Geylang Serai Bazaar on 30 July. Photo credits: Razali Selamat

We tried to interview some of the bazaar-goers, but all we got out of the gaggle of excited officers crowded around a computer, pointing and laughing at the resulting photographs, was:

“So what did you do at the bazaar?”

“Jalan jalan … see food … see men … see pakcik … see makcik … like that lor.”

Indeed, like that lor. A belated Selamat Hari Raya to all our Muslim colleagues, and may the feasting never end (till the next Ramadan)!
