Deepavali Delight: Celebrate Toll-Free with Style!

Get ready to light up your Deepavali with free highway travel, celebrations, and some sizzling festive fun!

Deepavali is not just a festival of lights; it's a celebration of unity, culture, and some exciting journeys! This year, Singaporeans and our friends in Malaysia can rejoice as the government announces a toll-free period for personal vehicles on October 29 and 30. Imagine the sheer joy of traveling without those pesky tolls just as the festive vibes kick in! So pack your bags and make your way to the nearest temple or family gathering. And remember, with so many people expected on the road, plan your trip like a pro or you might just end up in a festive traffic jam!

The festive spirit extends to the launch of Senior Citizen's Week in Ang Mo Kio Hospital, coinciding with the Deepavali celebrations. As we gather to honor our elders during this meaningful week, let’s also embrace the essence of Racial and Religious Harmony Day by sharing our love and respect with everyone around us. After all, what better way to celebrate Deepavali than with inclusive cheer for all ages?

In Bengaluru, where tradition meets innovation, the market is bustling with a colorful array of diyas from classic to quirky designs! Floating your diyas on the river or adorning your home with scented candles can create a magical ambience that truly embodies the spirit of Deepavali. So, whether you're in Singapore or India, make your home shine brighter than a fireworks display, and bask in the warm glow of celebration!

As we gear up for the festivities, let's also remember that while traveling, health and safety measures should remain a priority. With an expected rise of 2.62 million vehicles hitting major expressways, buckle up, drive safely, and share the joy of the season responsibly.
