Grassroots with passion
Openness–Wehavealwaysbeenopen to trade, people, cultures, technology, and more, and that kept us very much connected to the region and theworld. As people arrived over the centuries to trade, work and live, we thrived and grew. Multiculturalism – We were always made up of different communities who came out of necessity or opportunity. People of many cultures came, shared their traditions and food, which resulted in our diverse, multicultural society today. Self-determination – We have been fought over by regional and global powers. We have also faced many challenges in our history. Yet individuals, communities and, finally, our nation have risen in the spirit of enterprise and self-determination to chart our destiny. “From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience” “From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience” is the centrepiece event of the bicentennial year.

Set in the historic Fort Canning Park, The Bicentennial Experience comprises an indoor multimedia, immersive journey called Time Traveller, and an outdoor exploratory trail featuring eight interactive pavilions and installations called Pathfinder.
