This activity aimed to remind following generations of the preceding generation’s contributions to national protection and construction under the clear-sighted leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh.
Speaking at the flower offering ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Mai Phuoc Dung affirmed the country's glorious revolutionary tradition, noting that over the past 79 years, the Party has always paid attention to building a State of the people, by the people and for the people, which is considered an important task.
This has been affirmed through the great achievements gained during more than 30 years of Doi moi (Renewal), he said, emphasising that Vietnam now sees a considerable opportunity to take new steps of development.
At the ceremony, participants observed a minute of silence in commemoration of President Ho Chi Minh.
Ta Thuy Lien, head of the liaison board of the Vietnamese community in Singapore, said that the board was one of the recipients of certificates of merit at the 4th Conference of Overseas Vietnamese, held in August, in recognition of their contributions to community activities. Lien herself also received a similar certificate from the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese.
She shared that the "lodestar" for the community in Singapore as well as herself is the testament of Uncle Ho.
Although 55 years have passed, the values of President Ho Chi Minh’s testament remain intact. The simple but sacred instructions in his testament not only have profound historical significance but are also deeply imbued with a lofty humanistic spirit, she said.
Lien added for the Vietnamese community in Singapore, implementing the testament means constantly cultivating the love for the homeland and the national pride while strengthening community cohesion.
