Chinatown Dream

A series of murals painted on the side of a shophouse on Mohammad Ali Lane. The segments are as follows:

  • Paper Mask & Puppet Seller, a colourful cart selling traditional paper masks and puppets, which were crafted by Mr Yeo Ban Kok in the 1980s

  • Mamak Store, based on Abdul Kadir's original store in Sago Lane which was moved into the Chinatown complex in 1984

  • Lion Dance Head Maker, a workshop detailing many ornamental wear and pieces

  • The Window, showing many colourful fabrics drying out and a basket being lowered to street level, and

  • Samsui Women, where two women are sitting on the kerb waiting for their lorry.
