You are right about the old buildings. Over the years I have seen quite a few buildings lost in Singapore. There are some areas that have been retained and restored which is good to see. During my time in Singapore I witnessed the construction and completion of major infrastructure projects including a new underground rail line. When the project is completed it is a relief and one feels happy to say 'goodbye' to the road diversions, construction noise and cranes. But within weeks a new project or two is begun. It is never ending. Cheers, John Thanks Reggie,

Those old buildings have a flavor that can't be duplicated. Great pics and nice idea. I miss those old building and wish Singapore would look to preserve their character for once they're gone you can't get them back.
