Importance of pasar malams

Pasar Malams has played a great role in family bonding as well as cultural understanding and harmony

Looking far far back…

“The pasar malam

has been an integral

part of the heartland

scene for decades.

Now, it looks like it is

at some risk of

disappearing from

the heartland

altogether.”

-Miss Dennis Ng, a

reporter from the

Singapore newspaper

•In the old days, most pasar malam were a one-day affair

•Stallholders have to set up their own portable tables, lightings, etc.

•No canvas or shelters put up by contractor

Looking back…

•Pasar malam is no longer a place to seek for cheap bargain due to the rental fee that is paid to the organizer.

•Organizer helps to put up shelters for vendors

•Decreasing popularity due to reasons like repetition of stalls and lack of variety.
