Commentary: It’s a shame Singaporeans do not consider themselves creative

On the other hand,” Big C” creativity is frequently associated with groundbreaking projects and accomplishments that have a significant impact on people’s lives. This could include musicians who sell out venues, experts whose studies causes model shifts, and innovators who alter how we live.

Perhaps this significant shift in thinking from” Little C” to” Big C” creativity explains why Singaporeans may be underestimating their own creativity. Perhaps if they practice creativity in their daily lives, they do not see themselves as innovative.

We are more likely to validate the” Big C” creatives, such as the musicians we listen to on Spotify, the filmmakers we follow on Netflix, and the TikTok content creators we follow.

Even when our brother Singaporeans achieve anything, we frequently contrast it with the torrent of international creative result and either diminish or ignore it directly. But despite its short history, Singapore has people with” Big C” creativity.

Examples include actor Mark Lee and jazz singer and Cultural Medallion victim Jeremy Monteiro, who just released his 50th album, and Jeremy Monteiro, whose performances have received positive reviews and positive reviews on both the internet and in print.

The later Sim Wong Hoo, chairman of Creative Technology, made his mark on the world with listeners and devices, especially in the 1990s and 2000s.

Maybe us Singaporeans are very results-oriented when we deem ourselves unoriginal, and we suppress ourselves with our propensity to evaluate. What if we altered our outlook on imagination and looked at it from a diverse angle?
