Chan Heng Chee, chairwoman of the National Arts Council and LKY Innovative Cities in the SUTD has written about how Singapore has come a long way from being a ‘cultural desert’ to a city with numerous arts performances daily. I find this article extremely relevant for students who are preparing for GP essays on Arts and Culture. Even if you are not preparing for this theme for your A Levels, it is still necessary to read this article so that you can understand more about the arts and culture scene in Singapore. Perhaps its time to rethink the notion of Singapore being a ‘cultural desert’ after reading this article.
