these are the new image of singapore .... massive infrastructure MEGA shopping malls!
This make me wonder, what is the true image of singapore .. what can a tourist bring home from singapore.. what is the proud landmark we can tell our friends about singapore ?
the merlion ? ermz .. the mini merlion beside the big merlion ? the empty padang ? i think its not .. they will bring back the image of shopping SHOPPING SHOPPING.
I feel that singapore have nothing much to call home.. nothing interesting that i can share with my friends. Except that its a fine country i live in, with good security ... good friendly people and ... MEGA SHOPPING MALLS..
what happen to our past ?
i remembered growing up in the buzzling night market. where families are able to gather around the night bazzar, looking for food, things to buy .. or simply window shopping.
its such a nice time, where things are cheaper and creating a sense of belonging.
Nowadays. shops in the shopping malls are repeative. nothing unique and everything is boring. prices are outrageous, and getting out of hand ...
In order to boost up singapore tourist. we need something permamently that bring us back to our past glories.
the time, where night bazaar rules, cheap food, cheap merchandise that create uniquely singapore.
And not spending MILLIONS OF DOLLARS making a new orchard road ...
( Lesser shopping malls, means greener singapore )
shopping centre is nothing new to our foreign friends, i believe they can find better shopping centre in their own countries ....
Make singapore unique .. not predictable .... would you say so ?
