Effectiveness of museums

Overall, the museums are not perfect in putting across the story of Singapore as a nation. However, I have to say Singapore is trying to preserve the heritage as much as possible. Through the use of museums, we are able to see artefacts and gain access to resources that are not easily found. Although there is an entrance fee to be paid, the amount is minimal. For that amount of information and experience we can get, I can say it is definitely worth visiting the museums and heritage sites.

Perhaps,less emphasis should be given to Sir Stamford Raffles. Instead, maybe give credit to others such as William Farquar who played a significant role in Singapore's history. Even though many road names, places and buildings are named after important figures, it might be important to educate Singaporeans on their roles and contributions.

Compared to many other nations, Singapore's history seems like colourful and interesting. However, we must still understand our national heritage and history. This will ensure the our future generations a story to tell. :)
