They were accompanied by Minister for Transport S Iswaran and Second Minister of State for Transport Dr Amy Khor.
PM Lee and guests also greeted the mall workers comprising security officers, cleaners, facilities management and customer service staff, who keep the mall clean, safe and operating smoothly all year round, including the LNY period.
