Enjoyed a lively discussion with Ee Sim 逸芯 and Raymond 剑斌 on Capital 95.8FM earlier this week. We exchanged views on current affairs, including what we should do amidst the COVID-19 outbreak and the various heartwarming initiatives that have emerged ground-up. I’m glad to see unity among Singaporeans during these difficult times. By spreading positivity and warmth through little acts of kindness, we can build a more caring and resilient Singapore. I also shared how the arts and culture are at the heart of every society. It improves well-being, roots us as Singaporeans, and inspires us to be better. This is why MCCY wants to provide more opportunities for Singaporeans at different life stages to experience the arts and culture, through Museum-based Learning (MBL) and WeCare Arts Experiences. MBL will bring students to museums for them to learn more about Singapore’s multicultural heritage, while WeCare Arts Experiences will expand opportunities for the less-privileged to enjoy ticketed arts performances and presentations. Together, we can make Singapore an endearing and inclusive home with opportunities and possibilities for all. #COS2020 #SGUnited #958早点正能量 #Capital958 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qTz1fn1gD/?igshid=nczm1g735p48

In my Budget debate speech, I mentioned how MCCY will support the arts and cultural sector during COVID-19 and prepare them for the post-disease recovery. The arts and culture have the power to uplift our spirits and give us strength. While we want cultural performances to continue with the necessary precautions in place, we are also mindful of how COVID-19 has affected the sector. So from now until 30 June, arts and culture activities at our national cultural institutions will receive a 30% subsidy to help cover venue rental and associated costs. At the same time, we hope arts and cultural practitioners will take this opportunity to grow their capabilities for the longer-term. MCCY and the National Arts Council (NAC) will provide a one-time enhanced Capability Development Grant, which NAC’s Major Companies, Seed Grant Companies, as well as arts organisations and individuals are welcome to apply for from 16 March onwards. There are also other measures to help those impacted by COVID-19, including those announced by DPM Heng at Budget 2020. I encourage all arts and cultural freelancers to tap upon them, so we can overcome these challenging times together and emerge even stronger.
