What is Our SG Heritage Plan 2.0?

Our SG Heritage Plan 2.0 (HP2) is Singapore’s second heritage masterplan that celebrates Singapore’s rich history and continues to tell the Singapore Story in compelling and multimodal ways. Building on initiatives from the first Heritage Plan (2018–2022), HP2 connects people and heritage through four areas: Community, Identity, Industry, and Innovation.

It aims to create an enriched heritage landscape that celebrates cohesive multiracialism; connects Singaporeans across time, space, and cultures; and creates a platform for different voices to tell the Singapore Story.

We’d love to hear from you!

We are seeking public input on 25 aspects of Singapore’s heritage under four key focus areas – Community, Identity, Industry, and Innovation – through our newly-launched online portal and on-site booths. Members of the public can find out more about the HP2 ideas and strategies via the booths and on the interactive site.

You are invited to respond to the prompts at the booths (via the given postcards, stickers etc.) to share your ideas and thoughts. For more information on the specific proposed initiatives, please visit https://go.gov.sg/hp2nhb.
