"I'm proud of my culture and traditions" (it's ok if the person doesn't know the term "ICH")

2025-04-16 03:28:00 UTC

I have the opportunities to start, the tools to pivot, and earn a living!

2025-04-16 03:28:13 UTC

It is something unique and special to singapore and ourselves

I hope that Singaporeans will articulate why ICH is important to SG. And ID at least 3 forms of ICH that they practise

I'm proud of my traditions!

ICH is diverse and part of our lived experience - kaya toast, burning ten year series and drinking them mixed with water for good luck in exams and watching Singapore lose in football

2025-04-16 03:28:19 UTC

That we are proud to be in living in a multicultural, multi-faith society and one is not afraid to learn more about these traditions and practices beyond their own group

It’s more than the bread and butter for me. It’s about me contributing to the Singapore identity and I’m invested in that

2025-04-16 03:28:41 UTC

2025-04-16 03:28:47 UTC

2025-04-16 03:29:17 UTC

ICH the term itself would probably cause broader confusion to the public, hence we probably can keep it within NHB as a culture label but for the public - they should celebrate, practise, grow and remember the practices that are deemed valuable in the community.

2025-04-16 03:29:21 UTC

thriving as our identity and practised in life
