Zaack

Zaack, as can be seen from its appearance, has been around for a long time, even before the renovation of the hawker centre. Business seemed to have been better before renovation, which is ironic since the renovation is supposed to attract and accommodate more customers. It is one of the few shops that is selling delicious “local drinks”, such as Milo Dinosaur. However, we were unable to obtain more information from the shop owner because we were unable to speak Malay. This reminded us of language barriers between us and our grandparents since they speak dialects, which most of us do not understand. Thus the knowledge and appreciation of people’s practices of the past is important otherwise the younger generation would be very much less exposed to their roots in the future. Nonetheless, we hope that this shop will continue its business because we believe as long as there is motivation, language barriers cannot impede it.
