Improvements to be made

The change brought about by the government did not necessarily have positive impacts. Although the sleazy and risque reputation of Bugis has been replaced with a cleaner, more wholesome one, tourism and interest in that area was no longer as good as before. The sleaziness of Bugis was its identity and what it was renowned for.

Therefore, to reestablish a sense of identity for Bugis, I feel that they should bring back some elements of the Bugis in the 1960 - the elements which made Bugis a world famous attraction in the 1960s and 70s to attract more tourists and generate more interest. However, there should not be too much risque activities as this would disrupt business around the area.
