LOSS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE?
Amid the shop closures, questions are growing about what it means to preserve Kampong Glam’s culture.
The Kampong Gelam Alliance (KGA), which brings together residents, business owners and cultural institutions, does not regulate rents.
Instead, it facilitates conversations between tenants and landlords, advocates for the area’s cultural value and works to increase footfall.
One proposal is to extend weekend road closures at Bussorah Street and Baghdad Street to weekdays, allowing for more frequent performances and events.
