• The idea of setting up the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) was proposed by Mr Chua Thian Poh, then Chairman of the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA), and supported by then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
• SCCC was officially opened in 2017.
• In 2020, the opening of SCCC’s exhibition “SINGAPO人: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture” was officiated by then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. This exhibition offers an innovative and interactive interpretation of Singapore Chinese culture. It is open daily with free admission to the public.
• In 2024, SCCC launched Culturepaedia, a comprehensive one-stop online repository on Singapore Chinese culture.
• Through strategic partnerships with local arts and cultural groups, and engaging and accessible content, SCCC hopes to nurture a greater appreciation of Chinese Singaporeans’ multi-cultural identity and instil a stronger sense of belonging to Singapore. SCCC promotes Singapore Chinese culture through exhibitions, performances, fairs, talks, workshops, seminars, and other arts, cultural and heritage activities.

As workplace stress becomes an increasingly important issue, the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre has partnered with local performing arts groups to offer a new way to relieve stress for office workers in the Central Business District. (Lianhe Zaobao, 20/12/2024)
