Ms Tan Li Ming, a resident of the Katong-Joo Chiat neighbourhood in Singapore, creates an Instagram account to showcase local businesses and support them during the Covid-19 pandemic.
SINGAPORE – Ms Tan Li Ming, 35, has lived her whole life in the Katong-Joo Chiat neighbourhood, an area commonly associated with Peranakan culture and heritage.
Come April 20, Ms Tan will be among 122 volunteers helping to run a two-day festival comprising 29 programmes that will mark the launch of the first node, which will be at Katong-Joo Chiat. Such collaborations could include exhibitions, talks, murals and artwork installations, and will be assessed for NHB funding of up to $6,000 per project based on factors such as the project’s ability to present the neighbourhood’s heritage to new audiences, and through innovative means.
He said that using leaves to cook is a common concept in this region, although various types are used – banana, bamboo and pandan. Founder Gavin Chan, 39, said the group’s work has been boosted with NHB’s support, particularly in developing volunteers’ skills through workshops, such as programmes on tour guiding that Ms Tan attended, as well as increasing the group’s pool of volunteers beyond Katong-Joo Chiat residents.
