Happenings at Hong Lim

The good, the bad, and the untold story - SARAH SHI gives us something to think about, replete with caveats of the non-real estate kind.

Clockwise: The Yellow of the Falun practitioners, the painted Pink of the Pink Dot movement and of the Black against the population White Paper. Black was again the colour of choice for the t-shirts at #FreeMyInternet rally. Perhaps a secondary takeaway is that t-shirt printing is now a rather lucrative business?

(Caveat: Maybe it’s because I’m a lawyer, but I have this fondness for caveats that borders on the unhealthy. Anyhow, the coverage of these events in the Pickering Papers in no way represents AGC endorsement of the events.)

The happenings at Hong Lim are every bit as morally complex as the man from whom the Park derives its name. The characters that descend on Hong Lim are literally colourful, wearing their hearts and causes on their sleeves.
