From 9 to 18 December 2016, the second Singapore Teochew Festival 2016 was held over ten days at Hall A, Level 1, Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, covering an exhibition area of 45,000 square feet. This large-scale cultural event brought together Teochew culture, art, exhibitions, academic forums, cuisine and traditional crafts. Compared with the inaugural festival in 2014, the exhibition area expanded by more than 50%, while new cultural and artistic programmes—including a Qiaopi (Overseas Chinese Correspondence) Exhibition, a Teochew Music Concert, and the 4th International Teochew Doctors Forum—were introduced to further enrich the festival.
To promote the festival, a press conference was held on 25 October. Then-President Dr George Quek outlined the objectives of the Singapore Teochew Festival: firstly, to preserve traditional customs and promote Teochew culture, enabling younger generations to appreciate its richness and be inspired to learn more about their heritage; secondly, to strengthen unity among Teochews and the wider Teochew community.
The Opening Ceremony of Singapore Teochew Festival 2016 and the 4th International Teochew Doctors Forum took place on 9 December. The ceremony commenced with the resounding rhythms of the traditional Teochew Da Luogu (grand percussion ensemble), followed by the grand entrance of the Eight Generals, symbolising the eight historic Teochew counties—Chao’an, Chaoyang, Jieyang, Puning, Chenghai, Raoping, Nan’ao and Huilai. The event was attended by a distinguished gathering of guests.Mr Gan Kim Yong, then-Minister for Health, officiated as the Guest of Honour. Other government leaders in attendance included Ms Josephine Teo, then-Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Transport; Mr Heng Chee How, then-Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office; Ms Sim Ann, then-Senior Minister of State in the Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; Mr Teo Ser Luck, then-Minister of State for Manpower; and Mr Baey Yam Keng, then-Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth. Opposition Members of Parliament for Aljunied GRC Mr Low Thia Khiang and Ms Sylvia Lim were also present.Nearly all leaders of Teochew organisations, alongside leaders of other Chinese clan associations, attended the opening ceremony. Overseas guests included Mr Li Shuihua, Party Secretary of Chaozhou, a delegation from the Chaozhou Municipal Government, representatives of the World Teochew Convention, and approximately 150 renowned scholars and experts from around the world participating in the 4th International Teochew Doctors Forum.

颜金勇部长在致辞中肯定本会馆在弘扬潮汕文化方面所作出的努力，他认为经济发展固 然重要，但文化体现一个国家、民族和个人的价值观和素养，所以文化修养和团结互助 的精神也一样重要。共同的文 化认知，能在国家遭遇到困境 时团结国人，让每个国民以 “家己人”的精神，同心协力， 共克时艰。文化教育活动在保留传统习俗和发扬正确价值观等，发挥潜移默化的积极作用，值得支持和推崇。他呼吁 本地社团在各领域积极推广文化，可把服务对象扩大到整个族群，造福国家。
In his address, then-Minister Gan Kim Yong commended Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan for its dedication to preserving and promoting Teochew culture. While acknowledging the importance of economic development, he emphasised that culture reflects the values and character of a nation, its people and its individuals. Cultural literacy, unity and mutual support are equally vital. A shared cultural identity, he noted, enables people to stand united in times of adversity with the spirit of “KaKi Nang” (“our own people”), working together to overcome challenges. He added that cultural and educational activities play an important role in preserving traditions and promoting positive values, and therefore deserve continued support. He also encouraged local community organisations to broaden their outreach beyond their own communities and contribute to the well-being of the nation as a whole.

12 月 15 日上午副总理兼国家安全统筹部长张志贤应邀参观潮州节。欣赏了小梅花艺术 团表演的精彩武剧《挡马》，以及颁发用纯金打造的“潮剧金卡”纪念品给主要赞助商。 他表示本届潮州节展览富有教育意义，尤其难能可贵的是展示出潮州文化遗产。得知许 多年轻人积极组织与参与筹办潮州节，他深表欣慰。他希望年轻人能因此体会和珍惜本 地潮州群体的文化与历史。
教育部长（高等教育及技能）兼国防部第二部长王乙康也来到潮州节现场，看到现场售 卖的糖葱薄饼，不禁想起外婆和童 年，小时候经常和外婆去外公经营 的眼镜铺，铺子旁就有一家糖葱薄 饼店，经常去吃。他说：“我们都 要对我们祖先的历史有一点认识， 而新加坡自身的认同感及文化就 是这样从中产生的，并不是说我们 来到新的地方就建立我们自己的 文化。其实，我们是以祖先的文化 慢慢凑成一个多姿多彩、多样化， 犹如万花筒的新加坡文化。
On the morning of 15 December, then-Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean visited the festival. He watched the spectacular martial opera Dang Ma performed by the Xiaomeihua Art Troupe and presented commemorative Gold Teochew Opera Cards, crafted in pure gold, to the festival’s principal sponsors. He remarked that the festival was highly educational, particularly for its outstanding presentation of Teochew cultural heritage. Learning that many young people had actively participated in organising the festival, he expressed his delight and hoped that their involvement would inspire a deeper appreciation of the history and cultural heritage of Singapore’s Teochew community.
Mr Ong Ye Kung, then-Minister for Education (Higher Education and Skills) and Second Minister for Defence, also visited the festival. Upon seeing a stall selling traditional peanut candy crepes (tong cong bing), he fondly recalled childhood memories of accompanying his grandmother to his grandfather’s optical shop, where a nearby stall sold the same delicacy. He shared, “We should all have some understanding of our ancestors’ history. Singapore’s identity and culture have developed from these roots. It is not that we came to a new place and created an entirely new culture. Rather, we have gradually woven together the cultures of our forefathers into the vibrant, diverse and kaleidoscopic Singapore culture we know today.”

Throughout the festival, great emphasis was placed on promoting Teochew culture through innovative means. A mobile game application themed around traditional Teochew kueh, titled “Heng Heng”—a Teochew expression meaning “good fortune”—was launched, allowing the public to experience traditional Teochew culture in an engaging and interactive way.
The festival also introduced the “Teochew Nang · KaKi Nang” CashCard and a limited-edition commemorative CashCard collection. Visitors could use the CashCard to purchase food, local specialties and handicrafts at the festival. The commemorative set, comprising six cards, was designed for collectors and as gifts for family and friends. The card designs were inspired by six classic Teochew operas: Su Liuniang, Peach Blossom Crossing, Meeting in the Woodshed, Nao Chai, Meeting by the Well, and The Princess of Eastern Wu.

“潮州节 2016”把近 10％（4000 多平方英尺）的展览空间辟为侨批文化馆，是上届 潮州节“潮州人过番史”的延续。侨批是指外出谋生时寄回家乡的书信和汇款，曾是先 辈日常生活中很重要的一部分，蕴含丰富的文化内涵，记录下先辈刻苦耐劳、艰辛打拼 的奋斗史。文化馆分为六部分。
- 第一和第二部分讲述先辈漂洋过海的历史背景，展出 300 个“猪仔钱”。这些用陶土烧制， 由猪仔馆私自发行的“钱币”，目的是操控南来苦力的经济自由。
- 第三部分讲述侨批的性质和历史文化意义，展出珍贵侨批文物。其中 50封侨批借自汕头市潮汕历史文化研究中心。本会馆也从本地征集来的 150 封侨批中选出 精品展出。
- 第四部分介绍最早负责递送侨批的“水客”，以及新加坡潮州人所经营的批局和民信业， 及其运作模式等。
- 第五部分介绍民信业知名潮州商人，例如致成号的掌门人黄仙舟，再和成伟记的李伟南， 有信庄的黄芹生等。 这些民信业的富商，很多也是新加坡潮州八邑会馆的领导人 。
- 第六部分着重介绍潮州八邑会馆的历史与发展。
As part of Teochew Festival 2016, nearly 10% of the exhibition space (over 4,000 square feet) was dedicated to the Qiaopi Heritage Gallery, extending the theme of “The History of Teochews’ Overseas Migration” presented at the inaugural festival in 2014. Qiaopi refers to letters and remittances sent home by Chinese emigrants working abroad. Once an essential part of the daily lives of overseas Chinese, these letters embody profound cultural significance and bear witness to the perseverance, resilience and sacrifices of earlier generations who ventured overseas in search of a better future. The gallery comprised six thematic sections.
- The first and second sections introduced the historical background of early overseas migration and displayed 300 “Coolie Dollars” (Zhuzai Qian). These clay tokens, privately issued by coolie depots, were used to control the financial freedom of Chinese labourers who had migrated to Southeast Asia under harsh conditions.
The third section explored the history, cultural significance and social value of Qiaopi, featuring a collection of rare historical correspondence. Among the exhibits were 50 original Qiaopi letters on loan from the Chaoshan History and Culture Research Centre of Shantou, alongside selected highlights from 150 Qiaopi letters collected locally by Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan.
The fourth section introduced the “Shuike”—the earliest couriers responsible for delivering Qiaopi—as well as the remittance agencies and private postal businesses established and operated by Singapore’s Teochew community, explaining their history and mode of operation.
The fifth section highlighted prominent Teochew entrepreneurs in the remittance business, including Ng Sian Chew of Thye Siong, Lee Wee Nam of Seng Hwee Kee, and Ng Khim Seng of You Xin Zhuang. Many of these successful businessmen also served as leaders of Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan.
The sixth section focused on the history, development and contributions of Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan.
