FAQs ON ENHANCEMENTS TO THE CULTURAL PERFORMANCE EXPOSURE FUND

• What is the Cultural Performance Exposure Fund (CPEF) and what is its aim?

In March 2017, the Malay Language Learning and Promotion Committee (MLLPC) introduced CPEF with the aim of enriching students’ learning and love for the Malay Language (ML) by encouraging them to attend and experience local Malay cultural performances. At the same time, CPEF provides students with an immersive experience in the arts outside of the classroom, while supporting Malay cultural performing arts groups in Singapore.

• Why were there enhancements to CPEF and when will the enhancements take effect?

The CPEF is being enhanced to benefit more students and as part of continuous efforts to improve the teaching and learning of ML. In doing so, MLLPC has taken on board feedback from ML teachers. The enhancements will take effect for performances with effect from 1 May 2023.

• What type of performances are eligible for CPEF?

Cultural and theatrical performances performed in Malay language locally are eligible for the CPEF.

Application by a non-profitable organisation that meets the MLLPC’s objectives will be considered for funding, subject to the Committee’s funding guidelines.

When a performance is funded by MLLPC, the applicant will need to declare the income from sales of tickets. MLLPC will take into consideration the expenditure incurred as well as the income received when reviewing the claims.

• Can non-local artistes be involved in the production of the performance? Will it still be eligible for CPEF?

Yes, as long as the performance is performed locally and meets the criteria for CPEF.

PSEIs and IHLs that offer Malay Language programmes as part of their curriculum are eligible for CPEF.

• Who can apply for CPEF?

Existing staff of all mainstream primary and secondary schools, PSEIs and IHLs offering Malay Language programmes may submit a CPEF application.

• How can applicant apply for CPEF?

Application must be made through the link provided by MLLPC (via email).

• How does an applicant know whether the performance is eligible for CPEF?

Applicants may verify the eligibility of performance by checking the list of CPEF supported performance through the MLLPC’s website at www.mllpc.sg. For performances not listed, applicants may email to MLLPC secretariat at raihanah_mohamed@moe.gov.sg or MOE_MLLPC_Secretariat@moe.gov.sg.

• How can an organiser/performing arts group submit their performances for CPEF endorsement?

Organisers/performing arts group are strongly advised to send information on their performances as early as possible so that the information can be made available at the MLLPC website for schools/institutions. This will allow sufficient time for schools/institutions to plan for their students to attend the performances.

• Are there any suitable periods to organize performances?

It is best to organise the performances during school term/academic calendar. For instance, for mainstream schools, junior colleges and centralised institute, Term 1 and Term 2 is usually most ideal for students to attend such performances. The post- exam periods are usually during week 9-10 of Term 4. It is best to avoid weekends and  night shows for primary school students as more administrative and logistical arrangements need to be made on the school’s end. For secondary schools, junior  colleges and centralised institute, it would be advisable to avoid Term 3 and Term 4 due to various national examinations taking place at that time. It is advisable to check the schooling term via the MOE’s website at www.moe.gov.sg or the respective PSEIs/IHLs’s academic calendar for the most updated information.
