The Lentegeur community police forum's (CPF) sector four sub-forum hosted a peace festival at Woodville Primary in Woodlands on Saturday, July 12.
The initiative, hosted in collaboration with Lentegeur police, was well supported by the ward councillor Joan Woodman, other political parties, community based organisations and residents from various Mitchell's Plain communities.
The festival included a host of fun activities and entertainment for young and old, including netball and soccer matches, food stalls, book readings, jumping castles and musical performances by local artists.
Lentegeur police chief, Colonel Umavathie Rameshwarnath, engaged the community and shared a message of hope with the local youth.
