3 [Turn over Fig. 1.2 for Question 1 Heritage and gentrification: Is there a win-win for neighbourhoods? Kampong Glam. When Ms Hidayah Amin walks around her old neighbourhood of Kampong Glam, she does not hide her disappointment. To her, it “has no spirit anymore.” “Last time, this used to be a residential area. Today, it is just very sanitised and commercialised … just for tourists,” she shared in the current affairs programme, Talking Point. The former resident feels that despite conservation efforts since 1989 to preserve Kampong Glam’s heritage, the gentrification of the neighbourhood, with its restaurants, fashion boutiques and hipster cafes, has changed the area’s identity. Ms Hidayah feels this tension, especially with the loss of her old neighbourhood’s history. While the buildings have been conserved and a heritage trail provides information about significant spots, the stories behind many of the old pre-war shophouses and former residents are largely glossed over, she claims. However, others feel that the change is necessary. Said Mr Seah, co-founder of The Black Hole Group which operates food and beverage outlets and one hostel in Kampung Glam: “I think it (Kampong Glam) has modernised itself; there is no point keeping heritage for the sake of it until it becomes commercially irrelevant." Note: Gentrification happens when the original use of the neighbourhood is no longer viable and the original residents living in that area have all moved out, and new users and functions have moved in, making the area quite different.
