CEO of the National Arts Council, Kathy Lai, writes on the funding guidelines for arts in Singapore:

"The recent spotlight on the arts, with the Cultural Medallion and Young Artist Award ceremony, and an extensive radio interview with artist and festival director Ong Keng Sen, has generated much buzz within the community on the role of the arts in society and how it is funded in Singapore.

Open and candid discussion is good, especially as Singaporeans warm up to the arts."
