'Getai ' or song- stage performances is often traditionally associated with the Seventh Month Festival , but now Getai is set to go beyond the Seventh Month Festival as it will be tasked with an important role to play - that is to make use of the dialect song-stage performances to Promote Anti - Dengue Awareness in Bukit Batok . Yes , the grassroots leaders there are hoping that through a different and unique way such as this will be able to connect with it's residents there , especially the elderly to drive home the important message of just how deadly Dengue really are .
With the grassroots leaders coming up with the creative idea of using a Getai to transmit such important message across to it's people , it will certainly spark options and plans to use this similar method ( Getai ) if it proves successful this time round , to promote and create awarenessness for different organisations and welfare groups too .
Plans and considerations can be made to get Getai to take over the use of TV to raise funds for Charity for the needy people and it's organisations , as well as transmit important messages such as Cancer Prevention , Road Safety Awarenesses , Yellow Ribbon Project etc , which I really thought using Getai to do so will be as good an idea as having it to promote Anti - Dengue Awarenesses .
And if the government or relavant authorities are bold enough , Getai may or should I say can also be used in promoting crimes prevention , considering the steady increase in crimes rates recently ( with conman conning old & elderly hard-earned money ) as well as the government continuous quest in their prevention against terrorist attacks etc ...
Getai is no doubt , certainly a great media , a new option besides TV shows , radio , news and print media to transmit such important info to it's people , especially to the old and elderly . I think it's unique and creative way , a refreshing change from the usual stuff and maybe with these ' meaningful & educational ' themed Getai song and dance performances , the relative authorities will find it much easier to get the message across to it's people , not only to the old and elderly , but to the young ones too .
