Part 4/10:
In a touching display of community spirit, Pei Fen visits a neighborhood mahjong game—another iconic aspect of Singaporean social life. Started in 2020 by a youth group called Mahjong Together, the initiative aims to bridge the generation gap by pairing young individuals with seniors in friendly, strategy-based matches. These sessions promote interaction, mutual learning, and companionship, reinforcing the gathering’s purpose of fostering connection beyond mere entertainment. Despite humble gameplay and some losses on her part, Pei Fen emphasizes that the game’s true value lies in community bonding and shared experiences, demonstrating how traditional games remain relevant in contemporary society.
