SCCC “Talking” Red Packet 2021

This year, let our adorable “talking” red packet show you how to say some common Chinese New Year (CNY) greetings! Through Augmented Reality (AR) technology, you can make the ox on the red packet come to life. Listen to CNY greetings in Mandarin and the five major Chinese dialects in Singapore – Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka and Hainanese.

Our red packet is illustrated by local artist Candice Phang (@Puffingmuffin). Inspired by the resilience of the ox, she depicts a happy gathering, spreading CNY good wishes. The audio recordings for the red packet were done by children aged between 7 and 11 years old. They are Joelle Lee (Mandarin and Hakka), Teo Kun Jie Marshall* (Hokkien), Raina Lee Xin Tian* (Teochew), Ng Rui Zhao* (Cantonese), and Wong Shu Wen* (Hainanese).

Learn more about different dialect groups in Singapore

Did you know? Most of the early Chinese migrants came from southern China. Among them, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka and Hainanese account for the largest percentage within the Chinese population. Over the years, Chinese migrants interacted with one another and adapted to a new environment in Singapore. As a result, they have also developed new languages, food and customs that were different from those back in China.
