PM Lee also shared on his Facebook page of his “relaxing evening” spent at the Singapore Botanical Gardens watching the SCO’s Spring at the Gardens concert. He shared photos of the other audience around, six sisters on a musical outing together, and of the orchestra performing. He also took pictures of bougainvilleas near the Eco Lake, which are in full bloom.
“We’ve had some wet weather lately, but fortunately conditions were perfect for yesterday’s performance!”, said PM Lee. He also took the opportunity to “jalan-jalan” after the concert as he said the weather was good.
