Does Singapore Hold on to Traditional Culture?

Question

Singapore is very modern, and also very urban, so I was wondering how much traditional culture is kept alive in Singapore?

Answer 1

The government still protect some old heritage in the city for tourist but many of singapore new generation dont hold old tradition only some of the elderly do.

Answer 2

Actually Singapore have no traditional culture at all.
Historically all the traditional culture brought from other countries such as: Malay, India and Chinese.
The immigrant hold on to Traditional Culture, yes!
Nowadays, so many young people in Singapore only hold on to their own traditional culture (Malay, India, Chinese) only for 50%.

Answer 3

I still see traditional cultures being kept alive but only by some... whether it because they are proud of their ancestory or because they just follow blindly...

I know most Singaporeans are practical lot. And so, many of the cultures have somewhat been "shortcut" or modified to suit the current atmosphere and trend. So, yes, along with where is it to be practised, to whom in respect it is practised to and for which "audience/spectators/crowd" to see, Singapore does hold on to Traditional Cultures....

Answer 4

Yes, they hold on to traditional culture.

But not completely, only about 75%?

The Malays, Indians, Chinese speaks their languages and practise their beliefs in their religions, traditions etc.

For every race and religion in Singapore, they have atleast one public holiday. That day, the people celebrates.

Singapore is a mix of Western world and the Asian culture.

Answer 5

Singapore is so colorful. Its always been that way and hopefully it'll always be. Chinese, Malay and Indian. Sort of an Asian Melting Pot dontcha think?

Answer 6

in many situations chinese language way of existence - some British effect continues to be there (like playing rugby and cricket) and specific the all pervasive Americanism in spite of if it somewhat is unquestionably not the biggest effect.
