SINGAPORE - To liven up Kampong Glam and attract more visitors to the historic precinct, plans are under way to host more cultural activities, add green spaces and feature more artwork along the walkable district over the next five years.
A three-storey-high mural depicting the Kampong Glam of yesteryear will be ready that month. The bright green shophouse side wall at 92 Arab Street is already a popular photo stop for visitors to Kampong Glam. Over the next two months, it received feedback and ideas from more than 1,600 members of the public and stakeholders in Kampong Glam.
A key aspiration for the district is to ensure that both traditional trades and new businesses remain viable. The shophouses and business units have seen rental hikes due to market forces, said Mr Zaki Ma’arof, a member of the alliance. Associate Professor Faishal, who is adviser to the alliance, added that there is a need to strengthen and refresh the offerings of the district while keeping it anchored in its history and roots.
