[SINGAPORE] Just a short stroll from the sleek new One Holland Village mall, with its curated retail, open courtyards, buskers and weekend buzz, is Holland Road Shopping Centre, which stands in quiet contrast.
Behind a timeworn facade lie narrow corridors lined with retro shopfronts and no-frills tenants: tailors, massage parlours, nail salons and hairdressers.
Several units sit shuttered. Yet, amid the stillness, a few new tenants offer glimmers of hope that the ageing mall, completed in 1971, may adapt to a changing market.
