Singapore’s native
diversity honored
■ On Singapore Cultural
Night the International
Student Association will
mix history, food and fun
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
The 10th annual Singapore
Cultural Night will focus on the
four main different races in Singa
pore: Malays, Indians, Chinese
and Eurasians.
“When the nation of Singapore
first began to develop, the cul
tures mixed together and it be
came what it is like today,” SSA
President Peng Lim said.
Lim said Saturday’s event in
the EMU Fir Room will allow stu
dents will learn lessons of racial
harmony and appreciation.
“We seek to participate in the
International Student Association
and support diversity on cam
pus,” Lim said, adding that edu
cation is an important role in the
SSA.
Participants will have the op
portunity to sample dishes from
every culture including Indian
style curry chicken, paper
wrapped Chinese chicken and an
Indian fried noodle.
SSA vice president and junior
business major Aileen Tam said
that the local food choices are in
line with celebrating the theme of
racial diversity in Singapore.
The four different cultures of
Singapore are also known for var
ious childhood games. Door gifts
from Malay will be incorporated
into the event so students can bet
ter understand the culture of Sin
gapore. Those toys include paper
balls and chateks — a feather at
tached to a rubber ball — al
though Lim said the gifts are not
the main motive of the event.
There will also be a skit about a
tourist who gets lost in Singapore,
exhibitions from all four cultures,
along with traditional decorations
and music.
“We hope to attract American
students and stimulate interac
tion so students will get to know
each other,” Lim said. “We want
to bring people together.”
Director of the Office of Interna
tional Education and Exchange
Tom Mills and Lim will be giving
opening addresses of welcome
and recognition.
“It is impressive that such a
small number of students put this
all together,” Mills said. He also
said that the country of Singapore
has strengthened its cultural di
versity, a message that he wants
students to get from the function.
There are only 120 tickets avail
able for the event and can be pur
chased by the general public at
the EMU Ticket Office for $7 and
at $6 by University students. The
doors open at 6:30 p.m.
