What is response one?Show answer
A central response is to actively keep local culture alive and valued. This means celebrating the festivals and traditions of Singapore's communities, conserving heritage and historic places, and supporting local food, languages, arts and creative works. By giving local culture a visible, valued place in everyday life, Singapore ensures it is not quietly crowded out by dominant foreign culture. Preserving heritage keeps people connected to their roots and gives the society a distinctiveness that global sameness cannot erase.
