COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
As suburban satellite hubs,
CMT’s malls are a channel
for us to engage local communities
actively in activities that educate
and benefit them. We are
also committed to supporting
non-profit, community and
charitable organisations through
synergistic partnerships.
Heritage and Arts
To further promote the local
art scene, Bugis+ together with
Singapore Polytechnic Design
School held a month-long art
exhibition titled ‘The Singapore
Blend’. Third year students
showcased a visual feast of their
sentiments and experiences about
their homeland. Perspectives on
local culture and issues took the
forms of photography, illustrations,
new media installations and
creative advertising.
Lot One Shoppers’ Mall brought
back fond memories of yesteryears
with the ‘Rediscovery-Celebrating
Our Heritage’ event in July 2013.
The week-long event showcased
the history and evolution of
hawker centres and personalities
associated with them through an
interactive exhibition by National
Heritage Board. Shoppers feasted
on freshly prepared local hawker
fare and traditional titbits as well
as enjoyed cultural performances,
exciting traditional games, cooking
demonstrations and talks on
natural beauty remedies. The mall
partnered the National Library
Board to organise challenging
jigsaw puzzles and hands-on
traditional arts and craft workshops
to create rangoli, lanterns and
ketupat. In conjunction with the
Great Singapore Sale, shoppers
in Lot One Shoppers’ mall were
entertained by six international
street artists in a street art festival
