Pink Dot

Kebun Baru MP Henry Kwek appeared at Pink Dot on Saturday (18 Jun) along with large crowds that returned to the event after 3 years.

They chose to form this word as a “nudge” to the people with “the power and responsibility to take that step forward and make change happen”. The significance of an MP visiting Pink Dot is huge, though it remains to be seen what it means in the long run. When this finally took place, the group raised their placards to form the Pink Dot and the word “Majulah“, the first word of our National Anthem. For the finale, the crowd gathered with pink placards to listen to speeches and form the eponymous Pink Dot, though this was delayed by quite a while from its stated time of 6pm. This year’s Pink Dot was also remarkable for the large crowds that formed, many taking the chance to finally participate in a mask-off event with thousands of other people. Mr Kwek even posed for a photo with the Mailbox, a new feature where people can take photos with their placard — which has a message like “Time For Change” on it — and send the photo to their MPs along with a message if they want.
