Dear Fans & Supporters
Wow. RBKD is truly honoured to have our website included in the National Library’s collection, an affirmation of local entertainment and pop culture in Singapore’s history.
We were approached by National Library Board for consent to archive RBKD’s website for inclusion in the National Library’s Web Archive Singapore collection.
According to their portal, “the Web Archive Singapore (WAS) is a collection of Singapore websites that showcases facets of Singapore life.
“Web content is preserved for information, reference and research on Singapore’s history and heritage. This ensures that the important times of our lives, people, events, and organisations are archived, even when the original sites have changed or no longer exist.â€
In their email to us, NLB shared with us that:
“Your website would be a valuable addition to our collection of websites reflecting various aspects of Singapore life and the building blocks of our community such as associations, businesses, and individuals.
“As websites are constantly changing and there is an increasing volume of content published only online, it is important that we proactively collect content on Singapore to preserve our nation’s published heritage. It is our hope to build a rich collection of websites on Singapore as an entry point for researchers to learn about our history and culture.â€
This is such an honour and only possible because of everyone’s support, especially Mediacorp, Hype Records, our friends of media, fans and supporters.
Our website wouldn’t have made it without your support towards Rui En and RBKD over the years. Hence, RBKD would like to share our joy with you and thank you for making this possible.
Thank you so much, let’s continue supporting Rui En! 😍
.
Yours Sincerely
Peh Xin Yi
President
RBKD – The Official Fan Club of Rui En
