CHAPTER 1 Introduction
1.1 Choice of Topic
My group examined a case study based on the amalgamation of fun and education
of road safety values, being practiced by the Road Safety Park (RSP). The values
are taught to students through a game where they take on roles such as
pedestrians, cyclists or drivers. Realising the effects of having fun while learning, we
decided to examine the RSP closely, applying the reason for its success to our
project. We will examine the reasons for cultural erosion and methods for cultural
preservation.
1.2 Reason for choice of topic
Living in a modern society1, we become ignorant about our culture due to our heavy
workloads. Instead of embracing culture, people become ignorant about cultural
preservation and choose to let it erode.
Currently, cultural practices are carried only on Government-allocated days such as
Racial Harmony day. Hence, people have less exposure to their culture and are
more inclined to disregard their culture.
Globalisation has led to the infusion of culture2. Local culture is now subjected to
greater exposure by other cultures via the media. Western-centric films such as
Gossip Girls are dominating the Singapore market, resulting in our local cultures to
be influenced by foreign cultures.

Chapter 2 Project derivation and Introduction
to our Project
2.1 Derivation of our project
In our bid to tackle the loss of traditional culture in Singapore, we have chosen to
examine our idea from the RSP located at East Coast Road in Singapore. The RSP
is about educating people on road safety through engaging mediums. It aims to
educate children on the importance of road safety through a fun and an interactive
learning environment within a simulated RSP.
Figure 16: Students at Road Safety Park
2.2 Impacts of the Road Safety Park
2.2.1 Positive Impacts
The primary school children are taught about road safety at a young age, ensuring
that road safety measures are inculcated in them. It being compulsory for students to
attend a road safety course, everyone will be educated and thus lowering the
chances of traffic-related accidents. The aim to get children interested by going
through the courses allows them to learn more easily and willingly as they get to
experience the danger of road traffic and learn from their mistakes, instead of just
through the textbook method. Around 500 students go to the park daily and from
1981 to 1992, at least 600000 children have become trained road marshals. This
shows that it has achieved its aim to increase the interest in Singaporeans.

Figure 37
The data shows that pedestrian death has decreased since the RSP was introduced.Therefore, the RSP is effective in educating Singaporeans about road safety.
2.2.3 Limitations
However, road accidents can also be caused by factors such as drink-driving. The
RSP does not emphasise on the danger of drink-driving as it emphasises mainly on
pedestrians safety. Hence, road accidents still occur frequently, with an approximate
6% of road accident victims below 15 years old. Knowing that there are other factors
not covered in the Road Safety Park, my group would like to ensure that nothing is
missed out in our project, Cultural Xtravaganza.
2.3 Applying idea to our chosen area: Cultural Xtravaganza
We want to arouse the interest of Singaporeans in their local culture through
engaging mediums. This is brought about by the current situation of cultural erosion.
We want our future generations to remember and practise their traditional culture
and hope to achieve the similar outcomes of reigniting their Singaporeans interest in
their traditional culture, using the same concept practised in the RSP.

Chapter 3 Project Details
3.1 Background and Aim of our event
Our proposed event: Culture Xtravaganza, is an amalgamation of culture and fun. It
aims to remind people of the importance of their culture and ultimately their roots.
We want to raise the awareness and interest of people about their own unique
culture by captivating their interest in their culture through engaging mediums. We
are concerned about the potential loss of our national cultural identity in the future if
our traditional cultural traditions are not passed to future generations.
In order to tackle this problem, we have set our sights on educating the younger
generation, namely students aged 14 18, as our target audience as that is the age
where youths start to be ignorant on their own culture8. Furthermore, by educating
youths from an early age9, it will be easier to get our message on cultural
preservation across.
3.2 Learning Outcomes
We want to highlight on the difference when learning through the textbook method in
comparison to the hands-on method. Learning through first hand experiences10
would be more beneficial as it allows one to be more interactive.
3.3 Date and time of the event
Our event will be a one week event, held in conjunction with Singapores Racial
Harmony Day, from 21 to 28 July 2010. It is the ideal time to hold this event as we
can best promote our project, which aims to promote and preserve Singapores
traditions and cultures through engaging and exciting mediums when in conjunction
with Racial Harmony Day.

3.4 Target Audience
We will be targeting students from Temasek Junior College as they fit the age
category that we want to educate. Furthermore, the location is easily accessible as it
is our school and we will be able to continue on our research on any school day. This
allows us to conduct our researches with ease.
3.5 Main attraction of the event Reminiscing the Games of The Past
This activity would be much favoured by the students over an ordinary exhibition as
students are able to participate and enjoy themselves while playing games with their
peers. As such, a higher degree of interest created. We would have achieved our
aim of educating youths about their culture through engaging mediums.
Students can participate in cultural games from different races such as, Five-Stones
and Congkak. These games allows students to have a better understanding of
various races and cultures as they get to play the games the older generation once
played when they do not have the luxury of technological games.

3.6 Planned Activities for the Event

11/33
3.6.1 I Love My Culture Because
Pieces of paper are prepared for students to pen down reasons on why they love
their culture. Photos of students holding the paper they wrote on would be taken. As
students who visited our booth would be encouraged to join our Facebook group, we
will tag the students their photos on their Facebook account as a memento.
As youths of the current era are too tied down with their workloads11 and other
technological distractions, they tend to neglect their own cultural practices. This
activity allows students to ponder and think about their culture and what they are
most proud of about their culture before writing on the paper. It also serves as a
timely reminder for students to realise that their own culture is eroding if they do not
practice it.

In order to introduce and promote our aims to the students, we have prepared
several cultural delicacies for students to sample to attract students to our booth.
They include Kueh Lapis and Malt Candy.
All these delicacies are aimed at raising12 the interests of students in their cultures
through engaging mediums and we want students to learn more about the delicacies
of their culture. Students should be able to reflect on the change and difference in
food preferences between the current and the past generation, hence allowing
students to realise the presence of cultural erosion and the need to preserve their
culture practice of their cultural delicacies.
We have ordered the delicacies from Muslim stall tenders, bearing in mind that the
food is Halal13. This is to cater to students from not only the Muslim community but
also every other student as Muslims can only consume Halal food.

To provide an opportunity for students to appreciate their own traditional costumes
as well as that of other races, students would be encouraged to come to school
dressed up in their traditional costumes.
A traditional costume competition would be organised and students who are in their
traditional costumes will be rated by our group members. Students will take turns to
present themselves in their tradition costume for the judges to rate them. The best
dressed student will be given a sash.
This event aims to encourage youths to wear their traditional costumes more often
and allow them to feel proud of their own traditional costumes. We also want
students to realise the change and difference in clothing preferences between the
current and the past generation, thus allowing them to realise the presence of
cultural erosion and the need to preserve the custom of wearing tradition clothing.

the world14. This allows us to garner more support for our project and raise
awareness on our groups aims and objectives. To add on, we will be able to reach
out to a larger group of audience, which includes the people from the older
generation as well as people from other countries.
The Blog webpage is used to provide information to Singaporean students who wish
to know more about the various ethnic and traditions in our Multi-Racial society. The
Blog webpage is an ideal choice for us to provide our readers with information as it is
one of the more widely used webpage too. For example, several blogs15 have
achieved successes and have attracted many readers daily. The webpage is also
easily accessible and allows us to edit to update our information to ensure that it is
up-to-date.

Chapter 4 - Evaluation of the Showcase
4.1 Evaluation of Event
4.1.1 I love my culture because
The basis of the test was to let students ponder and reflect on why they love their
culture. This method worked well as we received insightful answers which show
maturity, respect and proper understanding towards their culture and these traits are
desirable in elevating the process of cultural preservation. The fact that students
actually spent time to go through their answers proves that they are serious about
cultural preservation.
4.1.2 Telematch
To emulate the RSPs success of education through engaging mediums, we
conducted a Telematch based on cultural games. Research18 shows that games
stimulate the mind and encourage learning. Thus, we aim to create a conducive
environment for students to appreciate traditional games by recreating a village
atmosphere to show that traditional games still have a place in modern society.
On 28July, we attracted 12 students to participate in our Telematch and they were
grouped into two teams where they competed with one another to facilitate learning

as students learn better in the presence of friendly competition19. The participants
were attentive to the intricacies surrounding the games and in the end, a team
comprising of 3 males and 3 females won the Telematch.
4.1.3 Post-Telematch Survey20
To ensure that participants sincerely appreciated their culture through the
Telematch, our group conducted a post-match survey. Results indicated that the
participants rated our Telematch very highly as they learnt more about their culture
and hence, we can safely conclude that the Telematch was successful.

4.2.1 Short-term Indicators (Pre-event Survey21 )
Survey forms were disseminated to visitors at our main booth under LT2 and through
this; we aim to assess the extent to which our activities are able to achieve our
objective to educate youths on their cultures through engaging mediums.
From the survey, we found out that cultural erosion is very real as most of the
respondents felt that they were ignorant about their own culture.

However, all is not lost. Most of the respondents were enthusiastic about learning
more about their culture and were willing to go to contribute more to be more
involved in their culture.

The high number of respondents ignorant being to their culture indicates the need for
Cultural Xtravaganza to be around to ensure that there will be an avenue for
people to learn and foster their love towards their culture. Secondly, the high
percentage of those passionate to be more involved with their culture justifies that
absolute cultural depletion will be avoided.
4.2.2 Long-term indicators
The long-term indicators will show if our project is able to withstand the test of time.
We want Cultural Xtravaganza to continue even after Project Work ends. For
instance, we can use Facebook to communicate with our active members who can
contribute by stating how they can help preserve Singapores culture and suggest
activities that will pique their interest. This will allow our group to strengthen those
ideas by coming up with initiatives to preserve culture in Singapore.
4.3 Strengths
4.3.1 Relevance to Modern Singapore
Cultural erosion is a prevalent issue in Singapore. Culture encompasses many
aspects such as heritage, way of life and games and with globalization, many of
Page | 20
-
8/8/2019 Complete Wr Draft 4
21/33
these aspects are diminishing in Singapore. For instance, Hollywood films22
constantly out gross local films. Hence, it is important to ensure that our cultures do
not get eroded. Therefore, the strength of our project is where we advocate ways to
preserve local culture to combat cultural erosion.
4.3.2 Feasibility
Our project is conducted by all 4 group members, with minimal costs. Hence, we can
use our low production cost as a selling point to attract 3rd party sponsors as we can
easily conduct our project again, making it a feasible project.
4.3.3 Fun-Factor
Fun can be created simply by interactivity, a major theme in many of our activities.
By doing so, we put the participants in a state of ease, allowing them to be more
relaxed when they participate in our surveys and activities. Hence, the results
obtained from the surveys will be more accurate and in tune with the feelings of the
respondents.
4.3.4 Diversity
Through diversifying our means of connecting to our demographic, we expanded our
reach of finding ways to encourage cultural preservation and promote it. The results
can be seen through our Facebook group where 290+ members have joined and
most have expressed interest in our initiatives. Traditional methods of advertising
such as flyers also worked. More people had access to our flyers than Facebook
group. As such, it was better to diversify than to stick to just one media of
advertisement as the various forms complement each other.
4.4 Limitations

(accessed 6/9/2010).

22/33
One limitation was that Cultural Xtravaganza was organized within the perimeters
of Temasek Junior College. There was no sure way of saying that the same success
will translate on a larger scale.
Next, due to a lack of sponsor from a third-party organisation, we believe that our
aim of spreading the message of cultural preservation was limited. We could have
had a more profound impact if we had the resources to engage in more activities.
4.5 Solutions
Upon further research23, we discovered that the impact of cultural erosion, though
imminent, can be minimised through constant implementation of cultural activities so
that the values of said culture will live on in our minds.
4.6 Originality of our project
Our project was probably not the only one in Singapore to deal with the issue of
culture. For instance, organisations such as The Seri Warisan also aim to preserve
certain aspects of culture. On a national scale, the issue of preserving culture is not
original.
However, we used the new to save the old by incorporating new media tools such as
Facebook and Blogger to our project. We want to show that it is possible to
amalgamate fun with appreciation of ones culture. The perfect synergy of various
unrelated concepts into our project made it original in its own right.

CHAPTER 5 Conclusion
5.1 Summary of Project
In this project, we aimed to help others gain a better grasp of what traditional culture
is all about and to help people better understand their culture so as to arouse their
interest, thus increasing their enthusiasm to participate in cultural activities. The
Facebook and Blog serve as platforms for us to reach out to the younger generation,
raising awareness on traditional culture and also to allow them to learn more about
their culture through interactive measures. It reminds people of their roots, allowing
us to achieve our aim of preventing cultural erosion with time.
5.2 Room for Improvement
This project could be improved by implementing it on larger scale and by employing
more resources. For instance, instead of only reaching out to the younger
generation, we should reiterate the importance of culture to the working adults. Next,
with more resources, we will be able to come up with more interactive measures
such as comic scripts created under the theme of traditional culture, to attract more
people and to educate them with a more engaging method.
5.3 Conclusion
In conclusion, my group believes that this project has played its role in raising
awareness of cultural erosion and aroused people's interest about their culture. We
hope that the public will be more proactive in participating in cultural activities as
cultural preservation starts from individuals. If everyone plays their part in preventing
cultural erosion with time, cultural preservation will then be a success.
