Importance of pasar malams
Pasar Malams has played a great role in family bonding as well as cultural understanding and harmony

has been an integral
part of the heartland
scene for decades.
Now, it looks like it is
at some risk of
disappearing from
the heartland
altogether.”
-Miss Dennis Ng, a
reporter from the
Singapore newspaper
•In the old days, most pasar malam were a one-day affair
•Stallholders have to set up their own portable tables, lightings, etc.
