The atmosphere at Nee Soon East Courtyard on 23 June was electric, as hundreds of getai fans filled the venue for Shin Min Getai Zi Char Night.

Now in its third edition, the event has quickly become a hotly anticipated affair in the getai circle, selling out its 400 seats three days after its launch. 

Created to reward Shin Min readers, the event has built up a reputation for delivering the best value for enthusiastic  fans. Throughout the night, the audience was entertained by performances from some of Singapore’s top getai artistes including Peifen, HaoHao, the Baobei sisters and more while enjoying delicious zi char delights from the official caterer, Chin Lee Restaurant. Member of Parliament for Nee Soon GRC Mr Louis Ng and Shin Min editor Mr Choo Chee Wee also joined the festivities.

Our sponsors — Simba (Telecom), Bring Your Own Bag (NEA), MCI (The Ministry of Communications and Information) — enjoyed significant exposure throughout the event, which was also streamed live on Facebook with over 50,000 views in Singapore, Malaysia and the region. 

Messages from our sponsors were seamlessly weaved into the show by our getai host through commercial shout outs to the multi-generational audience. At the end of the event, guests received goodie bags, with items from our product sponsors MARIGOLD HL Milk, Golden Peony, Hong Seh Evolution, and WES Medical, as well as a 1-month free subscription to SIMBA.

Shin Min editor Mr Choo Chee Wee said: “We are delighted to share our biggest getai show to date with our loyal readers who joined us tonight to enjoy live performances by renowned getai artistes over delectable Teochew cuisine. We would like to thank all our sponsors and partners for helping to make this event a successful one! We are already looking forward to the next one!"
