Singapore Day, is a new thing the Singapore government has adopted to bring a homely nature to the various countries. Last year, it was held in the ever famous, New York City, this year, it was held at Melbourne, Australia. (: Why hold such an event? Because of the numerous Singaporeans in these places. With such a large number, so much so that an event is created for such, it is inevitable that the Singapore culture "rubs off" on the citizens of these places. What more, with an event like that held, it is practically first hand advertisement for Singapore. With the array of Singaporean food available at the event, one would be enticed to visit Singapore, and one would be curious to learn more about the culture.

As mentioned by Trenholm (2004),

"culture is learned, shared, dynamic..."

So our culture is shared overseas through events as such, and learned by the foreigners, or well, locals of the country.

So, kudos to Singaporeans overseas! Spread the love! Teach our unique Singaporean culture - Singlish, our multifaceted/diverse culture, kiasu-ism, and more!
