Identity in Singapore is a medley of the old and the new. In trying to

find out what makes Singapore truly Singapore, the government has
attempted to rebrand the countrys identity by weaving the old with
the new. Old meets new can be seen in language, food, music and
other spheres of our life. The old, referring to aspects of Singapore
that can be traced back to the past, and the new, referring to
imported elements from abroad as Singapore becomes increasingly
globalized.
