All proceeds of the event will be donated to charity through the President’s Challenge.
Since the beginning of this year, a series of events and activities has been planned out to commemorate the 150th anniversary, including the Our Istana: A Living Museum roving exhibition and the launch of commemorative souvenirs like medallions and Istana models made solely with Lego bricks.
