Singaporeans interested in doing their part for our heritage will soon be able to benefit from a new $5 million Heritage Grant Scheme which will be disbursed over the next four years. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who launched the new scheme at the Singapore HeritageFest 2013 yesterday, said heritage is essential to people and nations. Even as he highlighted the work of the National Heritage Board (NHB) and the MCCY in promoting culture and the arts, he stressed that the Government does not own, or define, the Singaporean heritage. “Our heritage is a collection of individual memories woven into a national story, something that belongs to every Singaporean, which each of us can contribute to and help preserve, individually and collectively."
