甘榜之夜 温暖我心 Embracing the Kampung Spirit

CCS武吉巴督邻里中心每年都会定期举办「甘榜之夜」以联系居民的感情。这次的「甘榜之夜」更是空前成功。一群围坐的居民齐聚一堂，专注地看着台上表演的马来舞和扇子舞，台下不时响起如雷掌声，如此热闹的场面就出现在CCS武吉巴督邻里中心上个月最后一个星期六举办的「甘榜之夜——开斋屠妖欢庆佳节」里。

「甘榜之夜」的舞台是属于我们的。当晚的表演是由义工、武吉巴督的当地居民和友族同胞来参与演出，并亲自演绎本地多元文化与各大种族色彩。虽然他们的演出未必专业，却是最具感染力的。每每观众看见自己熟悉的朋友在台上献声或舞蹈时，台下都会唤起共鸣，喊好之声此起彼落，热闹得很。

您有看过马来人唱华语歌曲吗？在我们的「甘榜之夜」就有。晚会当天的压轴表演就是马来同胞边唱华语歌曲，边做手语的演出以及「传统服装秀」这个精彩的节目。11位打扮亮丽的居民和义工们在台上走秀，为当晚的节目留下美好的回忆。

「甘榜之夜」晚会大约集合了250位居民与义工，也让群众切实地感受到社区团结的可贵。这项活动丰富了我们的周末，也建立了居民与CCS武吉巴督邻里中心不可分割的友好关系。

Saturday 28 November 2009, CCS welcome residents from all walks of life to an evening filled with laughter and performance at the “Kampung Night : Deepa-Raya Celebration”. Everyone present was happy and delighted catching up with old friends and at the same time making new friends.

Weeks of practice by CCS volunteers and residents brought forth many wonderful ethnic performances. Loud applause and cheers were heard from families and friends obviously enjoying the performances.

Highlight of the evening was witnessing the Chinese volunteers presenting a Malay dance item; and the Malay residents presenting Chinese sign languages.

We also see a fashion parade where colourful traditional costumes were being showcased.

With 250 residents and volunteers coming together as one, "Kampung Night” was truly an evening to remember.
