Emcee - 22nd March 2025, Sun Plaza Good Old Times Roadshow

Date - 22nd March 2025

Venue - Sun Plaza Level 2

Emcee - Day 5 of the Good Old Times Roadshow introduced a game of logic and strategy—Congkak! Emcee Singapore Fang Hui took the stage once again, this time to guide the crowd through the intricacies of this traditional Malay game.

Originating in Southeast Asia, Congkak is played on a wooden board with seeds or marbles. The goal is to collect the most seeds in your storehouse by strategically distributing them across the board.

From 11am to 8pm, the crowd was fascinated by the strategic depth of Congkak. The emcee’s lively commentary kept everyone hooked, and participants of all ages joined in, testing their logic and planning skills in friendly matches. It was a day of brainpower and friendly competition, and the emcee’s hosting made it a memorable experience.

If you missed Day 5, you missed some serious Congkak action—but don’t worry, the final day is still ahead at the Good Old Times Roadshow!

Emcee - Do you remember these seashells? It's used in the game of Congkak!

How to Play: Players take turns picking up seeds from one of their holes and dropping them one by one into the next holes. If the last seed lands in your storehouse, you get another turn! The Emcee Singapore explained the rules with clarity, making the game easy to understand for first-time players.
