Hawker culture in Singapore has been inscribed as Singapore's first element on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

But, decades of culinary expertise are at risk of fading, as experienced hawkers gradually retire over the years and fewer new hawkers join the scene.

Just recently, Members of Parliament on both sides of the aisle voted in favour of an amended Progress Singapore Party motion, calling on the government to continue the government's support for hawkers and to grow Singapore’s hawker culture.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Yeo Wan Ling, Assistant Secretary-General & Director, U SME and Women & Family Unit at NTUC shares her insights.

On this episode of Electric Mornings with BYD, James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Singapore and Philippines and Anthony Teo, Managing Director of Vantage Automotive.

The kebaya has been successfully inscribed onto the UNESCO representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

It was jointly nominated by five Southeast Asian countries - Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand - and is the largest nomination from Southeast Asia to date in terms of nominating countries.

The collaboration comes as the kebaya celebrates the shared cultural identity across the five countries, promotes cross-cultural understanding, and continues to be present, actively produced and worn by many communities across Southeast Asia.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Melissa Tan, Director of Heritage Policy & Research at the National Heritage Board and Ratianah Tahir, Owner & Designer of Kebaya by Ratianah share their insights.
