During phase 2 of our new normal, my mentee – differently-abled artist, Douglas – had kept busy. I started him on Taxis of SG as he likes to draw vehicles. Do you remember the 70s when we used to hail “Taxi!” and share them with other commuters? Co-shared on mixed media is a collage of how our different ethnicities have shaped Singapore to Uniquely Singaporean and the taxi cabs of old. 1. 1949 – The First London-type Taxi in SG. We reproduced this from relevant images of old. An Austin 1949 model arrived in Singapore in November 1949 as the colony’s first-ever London-type taxi, causing quite a stir as pedestrians and passengers gazed at the vehicle with interest. Designed with a capacity to carry five passengers, the new taxi, however, was out of reach for most drivers due to its high cost of $7,000. 2. The first yellow top taxis were brought into Singapore in 1933 by the Wearne Brothers, founded in 1906. We researched it and tried to reproduce it here with its winged tips! 3. Toyota Corona Taxis – SBS Taxi- its colours mirror that of the SBS bus in the mid-eighties; re-interpreted from old photos The backdrop features a collage of how different ethnicities have made Singapore such a melting pot of surprising discoveries.

A Blast from the Sixties! Remembering a Happy Noise! The shophouse is drawn by Mentee / PWD: Douglas: Elements of ladies in cheongsam by Jtmuses I remember my childhood days when we celebrated Chinese New Year with loud firecrackers! Dad would welcome the lunar new year by lighting up a long string tied to a bamboo pole from our balcony. Others did the same and soon the roads in the housing estate would be littered bright red! At night, we had to stuff the years of my baby brothers with cotton wool as the explosive sound of firecrackers would frighten them and wake them up.
