Singh Tailor

The original shop owner’s daughter is enjoying the relaxed pace of life now that the shop has been shut down. Regardless of how much time has passed, and no matter what takes place in the interim, we believe some things can never be consigned to oblivion; memories can never be obliterated completely. Similarly, though Singh Tailor is no longer in operation, the signboard still stands proudly at the shop front. We managed to enter the shop through contact with the owner. The inner layout enabled us to picture a house in our grandparents' time, allowing us to imagine life behind a sepia-coloured filter. This is one of the few shops which lived through Singapore’s history during its raging post-war days. It sure is delightful to see traces of the past in Changi Village today!
