Recently there’s a debate between netizens going on Facebook.
As we know, Singapore hawker is being named on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. But people who go to hawker for their meals always have no place to sit due to used plates and cups by previous dinners.
Minister Tong said, “We are incredibly honoured that Singapore’s Hawker Culture has been officially recognised by UNESCO and shared with the world today. Hawker Culture holds a special place in the hearts of Singaporeans from all walks of life, and is a living heritage that reflects our everyday experience and identity as a multicultural society. The nomination journey has also brought Singaporeans closer together and instilled a greater sense of pride for our Hawker Culture. But the journey doesn’t end here. We will continue to recognise and celebrate the knowledge and cultural practices of the hawker trade, and ensure that future generations of Singaporeans can continue to appreciate, enjoy and cherish our Hawker Culture.”
This has caused a debate going on on Facebook.
