Apart from the language in Singapore, a city plan can also

describe why Singapore is self-professed global city. In Singapore, a
migrant group such as Arabian community can live in their area, they

do not share the area with other people who are culturally different.
Haji Lane or Arabian Town in Singapore shows how they are treated

as migrant people since they can set their Arabian community up in a
provided area in Singapore. Arabian community is not encouraged or

forced to live in the same area of Malay or Chinese residents. When

Arabian tourists visit Haji Lane, they will immediately feel home in
their heart and feel like that they are walking on the colorful road in

real Arab. Thus, every group of culturally different people can
profoundly perform their role in Singapore.

When I, as a Thai tourist, visit Singapore with Visionary

Arts 2019 as an educational field, I can perform my cultural identity

either. I do not have to forget where I come from to feel blended in
Singapore because everyone can be self-professed and express who

they are in Singapore. Importantly, I learn to respect others and have

cultural awareness when I walk along the road in Singapore. For
example, I aware of not talking about nationality or religion in public

sphere. It is unlike in Thailand that I can talk about those topics in
public places freely. Respect and cultural awareness do not mean

that we lose our cultural identity. However, it rather be something
that we have to remind ourselves when we live with other people

from different cultures.
