The carnival was truly a celebration by the Pharmily community, for the Pharmily community where all activities were planned and led by our very own staff, students and alumni. From guzheng and acoustic band performances of original compositions to caricature-drawing, jagua tattoos, Tahitian Dance and more, the day’s programme beautifully showcased the diverse talents and creative sides of our students and alumni beyond their pharmacy profession.

The programme kicked off in the morning with a nostalgic 1.2 km Heritage Walk from the Pharmacy Practice Skills Hub at Faculty of Science to the Central Library. Attendees viewed curated collections of old photographs, historic apparatus, and pharmacopoeias, reminiscing fondly about their university days amid the familiar environment. At Central Library, Professor Giorgia Pastorin, Head of Department, and Assciate Professor Ho Han Kiat, Dean of Students, greeted the crowd, followed by a symbolic cake-cutting ceremony to mark the milestone. Attendees enjoyed carnival food and games at the Forum, while listening to beautiful vocals and guitars by two different acoustic bands comprising students, alumni and friends – Cats Under the Engine and ACE & The Inhibitors.
