Rediscover Singapore - Stories from Yesteryear

Today (22th Feb) is the last day for the solo's exhibition painting of Yip Yew Chong which was held at the Sub-station which coincidentally will be closed for upgrading. As you all know that Mr Yip is well known for his street wall murals which he had painted in Singapore and many other countries. His murals are more or less the lively hood of everyday life during the early years of the Singapore transformation era. Stories from Yesteryear depict his early childhood years living around Chinatown where he experiences the lives of people engaging in street hawkers, death house caretaker, letter writers, and many other colourful occupations which had ceased to exist.
