He added that the new collaboration feature will allow buskers to have more chances to perform and fully utilise their slots.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuskers like myself only need 30 minutes to do a show, so we can share our slots with other buskers and give them more opportunities to busk. And given that there are over 500 buskers now, every opportunity to busk is a very important one,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
NAC said the expanded busking spaces came after consultations with the Busking Consultative Committee and other partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey wanted an opportunity to share slots with other buskers, particularly if they wanted to rest and another busker could come in and take over the slot,\u201d said Mr Patrick Piay, deputy director of access and community engagement at NAC.<\/p>\n
During the upcoming festive period, NAC said it has worked with the Singapore Police Force to preserve busking locations along Orchard Road, such as two new pop-up spots on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n
Busking has been trialled at the Singapore Zoo since October\u00a0and\u00a0at Rainforest Wild Asia since March.<\/p>\n
Mandai Wildlife Group, which manages both\u00a0attractions, first started with the entrance of Bird Paradise before selecting an area near the entrance of Rainforest Wild Asia for its good traffic flow and shelter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
