What has the government done to preserve
our heritage?
1)
The
government has made all museum entry fees free for locals and PRs.
2)
By
early 1990, many “shop houses” in historical neighbourhoods were left untouched
and safe from being demolished as the government wanted to preserve these
places.
3)
The
government will invest S$62 million over five years to enhance the content of
the national museums and heritage institutions.
4)
The
government is also planning to develop an island-wide network of community
museums, galleries and heritage trails.
5)
Singapore’s
Heritage Conservation Centre is also trying to organize workshops to promote
greater awareness of heritage preservation.

I feel that teenagers today are forgetting Singpore's culture and heritage. What do you think the government/school can do to get teenagers interested in Singapore culture and heritage? (idea focus on teenagers)

As we are advancing into a new technological world, why is it still important to remind us of history? Why can't these spaces be used for other uses such as building residential buildings,since we do not have much land for housing already?

ReplyDeleteI think that schools should promote culture and heritage by introducing fun activities during History lessons. Like now, we don't really study and know about culture and heritage during any of our lessons, we study about nothing related to culture and heritage.

ReplyDeleteIt is still important to know about history because it tells us where our society and originated from. Without history, there wouldn't be today... Having buildings of the past reminds us of how was back then and this helps us appreciate what we have now.
