Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 2: Melvin Yong on enhancing appeal of military museums to younger generation
A shared sense of belonging and appreciation of Singapore’s history are key to national identity; and to that end, museums are a good medium to ensure that lessons from key historical moments are passed down to future generations. Making the point in Parliament on Monday (Feb 27), MP Melvin Yong asked if the Ministry of Defence tracks visitorship at Singapore’s military museums and whether younger Singaporeans have been visiting them. He also wanted to know if there are plans to revamp the museums to enhance their appeal to the younger generation.
