Companhia de Electricidade (CEM) hosted the 14th edition of its annual Energy Fun Fair yesterday afternoon in Tap Seac Square. The fair’s theme was “green energy for a sustainable future” and its principal aim was to raise public awareness of electric eco-friendly alternatives, current energy issues, and the importance of environmental preservation.
A record 17 local secondary schools participated in the fair, and conducted seminars to instruct students in energy-­efficient practices.
Schools were each required to design a game booth for public learning and interaction. Students from each school were also tasked to create an art exhibition made solely from recycled electrical components.
The fair ran from 11a.m. until 6p.m. and was ‘jam-packed’ with talent competitions, games and other activities. Visitors were entertained with K-pop, dance, and other performances by the students.
The closing ceremony included a speech by the Chairman of the CEM Executive Committee, Mr Bernie Leong, who assumed the role last July. The fair ended with a lucky draw and a prize-giving ceremony.
