SINGAPORE: Outside a flat in Beach Road, LED lights shimmer amid cascading greenery and vibrant orchids, adding a festive glow to an otherwise ordinary Housing Board block.

For Ryan Qim, a 49-year-old chef, the display is more than decoration. It is his annual ritual to keep the spirit of Hari Raya alive.
