Utilisation of Cultural Medallion Fund Entitlements

Usha Chandradas asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth about the dollar amount of unutilised Cultural Medallion (CM) Fund entitlements and the reasons for their non-use.
Edwin Tong Chun Fai stated that of the $9.4 million awarded since 2001, $3.4 million remains unutilised as of January 2024.
He explained that entitlements remain unused because recipients are still conceptualising projects or have no concrete plans yet.
The National Arts Council supports and works closely with CM recipients to increase Fund utilisation.
