“The arts play an important role in the development of a vibrant and engaged community. It is often likened to a mirror that reflects a community’s customs, culture, social norms and practices. But it also serves a greater purpose – catalysing change and progress.” – Mr Wong Kim Choong, CEO at UOB Malaysia.
