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!
