Social dinner

Join fellow APSSLH Conference 2027 delegates for a dinner at Permata, a halal restaurant located in Singapore's historic Gedung Kuning (Yellow Mansion). This is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with fellow delegates, build connections and experience a taste of Singapore's local heritage and cuisines.

Gedung Kuning was constructed slightly before the Istana Kampong Gelam, now the Malay Heritage Centre. In 1864, Tengku Mahmud, the youngest son of the Sultan of Johor, officially named the mansion Gedung Kuning, inspired by its distinct yellow exterior, a colour long associated with royalty across the Malay world.

• Time: 6.30pm to 9.30pm
• Venue: Permata, 73 Sultan Gate, Singapore 198497
• Ticket price: SGD $50 (includes one-way transport from YWCA to the dinner venue)
