Freeze Ice Bridge (Kek Sng Kio) or Sungei Road literally started in 1930 it is a rent-free hawking area and the largest and oldest in Singapore. It makes its name in the early days as a place to trade stolen or smuggled of illegal or pirated goods hence the name Thieves Market they deal in all kinds of stuff which old, used or new household items and some even deal in power tools. I used to visit those shop dealing in motorcycle decals and accessories which was a hit during the 70s illegal for all hell-riding activities. The markets come alive during the weekend and public holiday and attracted local and tourists alike to explore one of Singapore pastime attraction. Everything comes to an end when the Government announced the site acquired for building the Downtown Line MRT Station called Jalan Besar instead of Sungei Road or Thieves Market.
