Downgrading for Upgrading

It is all too easy to lament the pace of change in this country. Issues of memory and amnesia, national identity and heritage...these are tired things to talk about, so we continue to produce tired poetry and art in their passionate defence.

However, our neighbours over in Toa Payoh Lorong 8 continue to show that there's no need for all this nostlagia.
