Lastly, it is also useful to see Singapore’s cultural policy as a particular distribution of resources, and the interests that are fulfilled with this pattern of resource distribution. While the Global City for the Arts project has pressured the Singapore state into shedding some of its authoritarian practices to conform to international norms, the logic of neo-capitalism and market demands have led to certain arts groups with the requisite cultural capital to attract tourists and cosmopolitan consumers benefiting more from the country’s cultural policies than others. The Singapore government’s cultural policy, specifically designed to reconstruct the city-state as a global city, has resulted in exacerbating the economic disparity between arts groups along ethnic and linguistic lines. Contemporary English-language theatre companies for example, are located in the higher strata of fund distribution while the less well-attended ethnic theatre companies are located in the lower strata. In short, Singapore’s cultural policy, primarily driven by economic impulses, has adopted the logic of globalisation to accentuate local inequalities.
