Pelita Sang Pendeta: Cikgu Suratman Markasan dan Lentera Bahasa

Program ini memberi penghormatan kepada Allahyarham Pak Suratman Markasan – seorang sasterawan, pemikir dan pendidik ulung serta karya-karyanya yang telah membentuk dunia kesusasteraan Melayu dan pendidikan di Singapura. Sesi ini akan dimulakan dengan ucaptama yang menyingkap sumbangan Pak Suratman terhadap pendidikan, khususnya bagaimana beliau menghubungkan kesusasteraan, jati diri budaya dan pembentukan minda generasi muda. Seterusnya, tiga penyair daripada Meja Conteng akan menyampaikan karya asli mereka sebagai respons kontemporari terhadap puisi-puisi Pak Suratman.

Program ini dikendalikan dalam Bahasa Melayu dan dipersembahkan bersama Taman Warisan Melayu (TWM).
