Drawing From The Past

SINGAPORE'S TRANSFORMATION from a small fishing village to a modern city today can be seen through its architecture - from the kampong houses of old to today's gleaming skyscrapers.

What's less obvious is that our history can also be seen in other ways, from old school matchbox designs to even the menus from zichar eateries.
