Akukho mqondiso ungcono weminqweno yobugcisa yaseSingapore kuneGalari yeSizwe, eyavulwa ngo-Novemba ophelileyo. Ndime phambi kobuninzi bamatye, ndaziva ngathi yimbovane eye yangena ngapha kwengca yasePadang, ibala apho abantu baseSingapore babehlanganisene khona ukuphawula iziganeko ezothusayo kwimbali yabo — ukuphela kokuthinjwa yiJapan ngo-1945, inkululeko ngo-1965, Kunyaka ophelileyo, isizwe sama-50 sokuzalwa.

Isakhiwo, enyanisweni, zimbini. Urhulumente uthathe isibini sexesha lobukoloniyali, izikhumbuzo zeNeoclassical (inkundla enkulu endala eyayilawulwa ngobhedu kunye neholo eyayisakuba sisixeko) kwaye, encediswa ngabayili bezakhiwo abasebenza eParis iStudio Milou, wababopha. Iphakanyiselwe phezulu ngesiqu esikhulu sentsimbi, isibonda seglasi esikhanyayo sifana nemithi emikhulu yemvula ekhula kuso sonke isixeko.

Akukho luphawu lungcono lokumiswa kweSingapore kwezobugcisa kunale myuziyam. Kuzo zombini ezi ndwendwe zam, yayiphantse yayize, itempile emiqolomba eyayinabanquli.

Iyaqondakala loo nto — ubugcisa yinto eqhelekileyo eSingapore. URhwebo usichazile esi sixeko ukusukela oko sasisekwayo, kwi-1819, njengendawo yorhwebo yeBritish East India. Yiloo nto eyarhwebela ootatomkhulu noomakhulu bam base-China-utatomkhulu wam wazalelwa apha-kungekudala emva ko-1900. Xa isixeko-dolophu safumana inkululeko ngo-1965, sasihlupheka. Emva phayaa, isishumi sabantu baso sasingasebenzi, kwaye isibini kwisithathu sasihlala ematyotyombeni. I-Per-capita GDP yenyuka ngaphezulu nje kwe- $ 4,000 (i-inflation-adjusted), malunga nesithandathu se-United States. U-Lee Kuan Yew, utata ongumsunguli wase-Singapore, wabhengeza ngo-1969 ukuba isihobe bubunewunewu esingenako ukubufikelela. Umsebenzi wegcisa laseSingapore uJimmy Ong oboniswe kwiFOST Gallery Matthieu Salvaing

U-Lee, ofunde i-Bhritane kunye ne-urbane, wayezimisele ukutyebisa iSingapore. Isandla sakhe sasikude ngokungabonakaliyo. Urhulumente wakhe wayiphucula imithetho etsala utyalomali lwangaphandle; Imephu yesiseko esifanelekileyo, sesiseko sedolophu; kwaye wakha izindlu ezizigidi. Uhlobo lweTiger, wagxininisa kwimfundo kumacandelo asebenzayo: izibalo, itekhnoloji, ubunjineli, isayensi. Namhlanje, i-GDP ye-capita nganye inyuke ngaphezulu kwe- $ 55,000, ephezulu kunaleyo yase-United States. ISingapore — inabantu bayo abazizigidi ezi-5 nezixhobo ezimbalwa zendalo — iye yaba lelinye lawona mazwe atyebileyo ehlabathini.

Isixeko-sikarhulumente ngoku sinokufikelela kuzo zonke iintlobo zobunewunewu, kubandakanya imibongo. Izakhiwo ezakhiwe ngobuchule bokwakha iinkwenkwezi zigqibezela ukubheka phezulu, kwaye indawo yezakhiwo zamakoloniyali ziguqulwe zayindawo entle yobugcisa. Ikhalenda igcwele imithendeleko, kubandakanya isihlanu saseSingapore Biennale, eqala ukusukela ngo-Okthobha ukuya ekupheleni kukaFebruwari. Kunyaka ophelileyo urhulumente waphawula isikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-50 saseSingapore kunye neenkomfa eNew York, eLondon naseBeijing, bethumela abaculi ukuba bancedise ukuhlakulela umfanekiso wayo njengeziko lenkcubeko.

Konke oku kwenza ukuba kube lixesha elinomdla ngakumbi lokufumana iminikelo yenkcubeko ye-ngapore. Inkcitho kaRhulumente kwezobugcisa isondela kwi-700 yezigidi zeedola ngonyaka, i-3,000 yepesenti inyuke ukusuka kwi-25 kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Ngale mali, urhulumente uye wafuna ukwakha i-hothouse yento umntu anokuyibiza ngokuba kukuyila kwe-Confucian: ngocwangco, ngobuchule, ngokuhlonipha abadala kunye nemithetho. Ngelixa le ayisiyiyo eyaseSingapore yokuthintela i-chewing-gum kunye neenkonkxa, iibhlog zisabanjiwe ngenxa yokwaphula imithetho eyenzelwe ukugcina ukuvumelana phakathi kwezizwe zaseSingapore (i-74% yamaTshayina, i-13% yamaMalay, kunye ne-9% yamaNdiya) kunye neenkolo (34% Buddhist, phantse i-20% yobuKristu, i-16% ayiyiyo inkolo, kunye ne-14% yamaSilamsi). Khohlo: Umthi weambrela, enye yeenkqubo zokufakelwa kukawonke-wonke zika-Little India. Kunene: Umzobo okwelinye lawona mhlaba mdala wezindlu eSingapore kunye neendonga zentendelezo.

Iziphumo zezo nzame zaseburhulumenteni kukuba ubuchule baseSingapore abufani kangako nodlame olunamandla lwemidiliya nemithi ekhula kwezi ndawo zemozulu yetropiki kunengqokelela yeeorchid ezintekenteke (ngokufanelekileyo, intyatyambo yesizwe), eqeqeshwe yaza yafakwa ikhowudi. Nangona kunjalo oku kungatshintsha ngokuvela kwesizukulwana samagcisa abandakanyeka kwincoko malunga nendawo abayibiza ngokuba likhaya. Ngenxa yokuba urhulumente waseSingapore esebenze ngokuzimisela kangakanani ekubumbeni ubugcisa, umbuzo obalulekileyo ngowokuba le nkcubeko iza kuyilungisa njani iSingapore ngoku. Amagcisa ethu aqala ukujongana nokuzazisa kwethu, utshilo uGqirha u-Eugene Tan, umlawuli weGalari yeSizwe yaseSingapore. Sibona njani indawo yethu emhlabeni? Khohlo: Umzobi uZul Mahmod kwiIndiya encinci yaseSingapore. Kunene: Ute Meta Bauer (L), umlawuli weZiko lobuGcisa bemihla ngemihla, kunye noStephanie Fong, umlawuli weFOST Gallery, eGillman Barracks.

Ukuze uyiqonde ngcono le nto, ndiye ndajonga igalari yeSizwe kunye nomlondolozi uCharmaine Toh. Eminye yemisebenzi yamaziko olondolozo lwembali yeyona mibhalo iphambili yaseYurophu kunye nemizobo yenkulungwane ye-19 yoMzantsi-mpuma Asia. Yile nto abantu babecinga ukuba lo mmandla uyiyo, utshilo uToh njengoko sivavanya imifanekiso emnandi yeentaka kunye nemithi yaseBrobdingnagian. Uninzi lwabazobi bathanda into ebizwa ngokuba yiToh yemveli, abafazi batyhilwa kwizambatho zemveli, umzekelo, kwaye banika imisebenzi yabo izihloko ezinje Iindidi zamaTshayina .

Sangena kwigalari ebonisa imizobo yaseSingapore yekhulu lama-20. Amagcisa adumileyo eli xesha abizwa ngokuba yiNanyang School ( nanyang sisiMandarin kulwandle olusemazantsi). Umsebenzi waba bapeyinti, uninzi lwabo lwalufundiswe e-École des Beaux-Arts eParis, iyafana naleyo yabalingane babo base-Europe, ngakumbi kuphela kwi-purples e-lurid, blues, kunye nohlaza. Amadoda aliqela eNanyang adumileyo ahamba kunye ukuya eBali. Bafuna ukupeyinta abafazi abahamba ze, watsho uToh, eqengqa amehlo akhe. Njengabapeyinti baseYurophu ababethelela abantu baseAsia, abantu baseSingapore baya kwenza into efanayo eBali. Umnini wevenkile yakwaSupermama uEdwin Low. UMatthieu Salvaing

Saluqukumbela ukhenketho lwethu kwigumbi elinikelwe kubugcisa banamhlanje. Apha, emva kokuba iGalari yeSizwe ivuliwe, abagcini babona isimilo ababengazange basibone ngaphambili. Iteyiphu emnyama emgangathweni icanda imimandla ekungayi kuhamba kuyo, kodwa abanye babahambi bemyuziyam abasandula kuqonda khange baqonde. Abantwana bathabathe iingqalutye zeglasi zofakelo baziphosa kwigumbi lonke. Abafazi abadala bahambisa iminwe yabo kwimizobo yeoyile. Xa umgcini weza wathi, Makazi! Makazi! Musa ukuchukumisa, waphendula omnye umfazi, Kodwa ndifuna ukuziva ukuthungwa.

Ngokuka-Toh, owafunda ngembali yobugcisa e-Australia, le myuziyam yasokola ukufumana indlela yokufundisa iindwendwe. Emva koko umzobi wenza into malunga nelungelo: Kutheni ulindele ukuba abantu bazi ukuba mabenze ntoni? Ungathini, ukuba awuzange ube kumyuziyam ngaphambili ebomini bakho? IMyuziyam yobuGcisa yaseSingapore, eyokuqala kwimbali yesixeko-sikarhulumente, ivulwe kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, ethetha ukuba phantse bonke abantu bayo abadala bakhule ngaphandle komnye. Sine-gulf, utshilo u-Toh, phakathi kwe-elite yethu yokuxabisa ubugcisa kunye nabantu. Khohlo: Umsebenzi wegcisa kunye nomkroli u-Ezzam Rahman. Kunene: I-Chef Violet Oon kwigumbi lokutyela leKhitshi likaZwelonke, indawo yakhe yokutyela kwiGalari yeSizwe yaseSingapore. UMatthieu Salvaing

Urhulumente uzimisele ngakumbi ukuwuvala umgama ophakathi kweSingapore neNtshona. Ngo-2012, yaguqula i-Gillman Barracks, eyayisakuba sisiseko somkhosi, yaba bubugcisa bemihla ngemihla obuneegalari ezingaphezu kweshumi elinambini. Iziphumo zeArndt yaseBerlin kunye noTomio Koyama waseTokyo zongeze ukuthembeka kwamazwe aphesheya.

Urhulumente ubonelele ngozinzo olungaqhelekanga kunye nemigaqo yoqeshiso elungileyo. Imakethi yokhuphiswano lokuthengiswa kwezindlu (iSingapore imalunga neepesenti ezili-10 encinci kunesiXeko saseNew York) ibacaphukisile abanini begalari, ngokukaStephanie Fong, umnini osakhasayo osisityebi seFOST Gallery, egxile kubazobi baseSingapore abasakhulayo. Undixelele irente kwindawo yakhe yangaphambili, indlu yevenkile eguqulweyo, iphindaphindwe kabini kwiminyaka emine, idlula ukukhula kwegalari.

Indawo encinci incinci kakhulu, uFong uqaphele njengoko besincokola malunga neziselo eMason, indawo yokutyela kunye nebha emantla egalari yakhe. Abathandi bobugcisa banokuxinana ekuvulekeni, kodwa abasoloko bengabathengi. Abaqokeleli abakhulu behlabathi bakhetha ukuthenga eNew York naseYurophu. Kwaye izityebi zaseSingapore zisawuthanda umsebenzi ovela ngaphandle kwe-Mpuma-mpuma ye-Asiya-ngokungafaniyo, abantu baseIndonesia, abagxile kakhulu kummandla wasekhaya uGlen Goei, uMdibanisi wezoBugcisa kwiNkampani yeqonga iWild Rice. UMatthieu Salvaing

Ukuhamba-hamba eGillman Barracks ngaloo mva kwemini, ndabona iindwendwe ezimbalwa. Ukujongwa kwi-FOST yayinguChun Kai Feng, umculi waseSingapore ocwangcisa izinto zemihla ngemihla, njengezihlalo zeorenji ezifana nohlobo onokuzibona kwindawo yokumisa ibhasi, kwiifom ze-totemic. I-Duchampian encinci, i-whimsical subversion yesiqhelo. Khange ndikhathaze ukuba ndedwa kwindawo engenanto-isenokuba yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokonwabela ubugcisa-kodwa ndizibuze malunga nefuthe. IGillman Barracks yimizuzu eli-15 ngeteksi evela kwiCentral Business District kwaye ayilungelanga kwaphela ngezithuthi zikawonke-wonke. Iigalari ezintlanu, kubandakanya uTomio Koyama, zivaliwe kunyaka ophelileyo. Ungasakha isakhiwo kwiminyaka elishumi, utshilo uFong, Kodwa izinto ezithambileyo zithatha ixesha.

Ngokuphindaphindiweyo, ndeva umahluko kulo mxholo mnye: Sifuna umonde. Sifuna indawo. Masibe njalo. Yonke into iyilelwe eSingapore. Kodwa ulahlekelwa bubunyani xa ufuna ukuba umhlaba ubone iSingapore njengelizwe eliphuhlileyo, umzobi uZul Mahmod uphawule njengoko besimba chwee kueh -Izonka zerayisi ezinesitayile esine-radish-eyonwabisayo-kwiziko labathengisi, indawo yasekuhlaleni ithatha indawo yokutya. ISingapore yaziwa ngokumpompa imali ukunyanzela inkcubeko ukuba ikhule. Kodwa inkcubeko ithatha ixesha ukukhula. Khohlo: USatinder Garcha, ongumnini wehotele iVagabond kunye nenkosikazi yakhe uHarpreet Bedi. Kunene: UMlawuli weZiko lokuPrinta likaTyler uEmi Eu. Matthieu Salvaing

Iphakathi likaMahmod livakala. Uhamba ezitratweni kangangeeyure, enxibe ii-headphone ezinemibhobho. Kubonakala ngathi ndimamele umculo, utshilo, kodwa ndirekhoda i-360 yento eyenzekayo. Kwi studio, usika kwaye adibanise, esenza i-sonic mosaic.

Mva nje, uMahmod ebexakekile elungiselela Ukuboniswa kukaSonic ye-Singapore Biennale. Esi siqwenga siza kubandakanya iibhondi ezingama-201 ezifakwe nezithethi ezijonge ngaphakathi ukuze izandi ezirekhodiweyo eziqokelelwe kumazantsi eSoutheast Asia (Thai, Burmese, Vietnamese) zidanise intsimbi njengamathontsi emvula. Ufuna ukuba ibonakalise ubunzima bendawo eyaziwayo. Kuhlala kukho uxinzelelo, uMahmod wandicacisela, kuba asizazi ngokupheleleyo iinkcubeko zomnye nomnye.

Sema ukuze simamele eli ziko lomthengisi: Clack clack -sinyithi nxamnye nesinyithi, endandiyithatha njenge-spatula ebetha wok. Sssssss —Uzizi wolwelo obetha ipani eshushu. Gawula usike . Ngaba i-cleaver ichasene ne-block block? Malume osika izinto, uqinisekisile uMahmod.

Oko akuvayo, nako, yilahleko-okanye, ngakumbi ngoncedo, utshintsho. Xa uMahmod wayengumntwana, iindawo zokutya ezixineneyo ezindleleni. Kwiminyaka ye-1980, urhulumente uthathe isigqibo sokuba athengise abathengisi beekorral kwiinkundla zokutya. Ngenxa yococeko kunye negama langoku, iindonga zenyuka kwaye kwehla ithayile, kutshintsha i-cacophony yentengiso yesitalato. Jonga ezi zakhiwo, utshilo uMahmod. Anodyne. Beige. Uyewanyusa amagxa. Ufuna abantu ukuze uyenze iphile. Khohlo: ISea State, nguCharles Lim Li Yong, eGillman Barracks, iqela elisandula ukusekwa lemifanekiso yobugcisa exhaswa ngurhulumente. Kunene: Isibhakabhaka saseSingapore njengoko sibonwa kumanyathelo eGalari yeSizwe. UMatthieu Salvaing

UMahmod wakhulela kwikampong, ilali yemveli yoMzantsi-mpuma weAsia. Yakhala imiqhagi. Iibhokhwe zakhala. Amathontsi emvula atshizwa kwimithi yebhanana. Kodwa xa wayeneminyaka eyi-13, urhulumente wayitshabalalisa loo ndawo, ehambisa wonke umntu kwizindlu zikawonkewonke. Namhlanje, ukuba i-nostalgia ihlasela, u-Mahmod undwendwela i-India encinci, ayichaza njengesalela esinqabileyo se-Singapore eyinyani: Kukuqhuma komculo. Ngabathengisi bemifuno abangxolayo. Kuvakala ngathi sisiphithiphithi. Yinyani.

Yinyani ukuya kweliphi ixesha, nangona kunjalo? Ngokwenene kubani? Ngaphambi kokuba iNdiya encinci ibe yindawo yokuthengisa exhaphakileyo namhlanje, le ndawo yayihlala abalimi beenkomo kunye nabenzi bezitena. Ngaba amafama akhalimela ukwakhiwa kwezindlu zevenkile zakudala kumadlelo abo? Ngaba abenzi bezitena balila ngenxa yokuphulukana neekhonco zabo njengesiphelo sobunyani?

UMahmod uyazi ukuba utshintsho alunakuphepheka. Into emxhalabisayo namanye amagcisa ayisiyiyo leyo; luhlobo oluthile lotshintsho-oluvela phezulu endaweni yokubhabha phezulu. Ukungqubana kukarhulumente kuyayondla ingqumbo.

Umzekelo omncinci: kwisizwe sokuzalwa kweminyaka engama-50, iGalari yeSizwe yaseSingapore yayalela amagcisa amahlanu ukuba afake isandla kwimisebenzi yoluntu, enelungelo Isinxibelelanisi sobugcisa , ekufutshane. Inxalenye yofakelo ibandakanya iibhentshi ezingama-26 ecaleni kwendlela evaliweyo. Zininzi izinto ezinamakhulu emifanekiso yabantu baseSingapore; enye igutyungelwe ngamaxabiso malunga nesizwe kunye neepateni zejiyometri kwimbala yomnyama. Kodwa izitulo zingqongwe ngocingo ukunqanda abantu ukuba bangahlali kuzo.

Isinxibelelanisi sobugcisa yenzelwe abantu, kodwa kancinci ukufikelela, umyalezo odidayo. Obu butyebi benkcubeko-hayi nje esi siqwenga okanye le myuziyam kodwa nayo yonke inkxaso-mali kurhulumente-ngokuqinisekileyo iyakuguqula amathuba okuyila. Koko kukhanya, mhlawumbi zona kanye izinto ezifunwa ngurhulumente waseSingapore kurhulumente-umonde, kunye nesimo sengqondo esifanelekileyo sokwenza ubugcisa-zezinto ekufuneka zihlakulele zona kuqala.

Ngenye imva kwemini, ndandwendwele i-India encinci kunye nomlawuli weqonga kunye nomlawuli wefilimu uGlen Goei njengesikhokelo sam. Sasimi ngaphandle kwindlu yevenkile ekhayeni leeofisi zemveliso yeWild Rice, inkampani yemidlalo yeqonga uGeo angomnye wabalawuli bokuyila. Kufuphi kuhlala indlu yeTan Teng Niah, indlu eyakhiwe ngo-1900. Zonke iipaneli kuyo yonke iminyango nakwishutter zazibonakala zinombala owahlukileyo, ngokungathi i-100 yabankulisa babehambe iCrayola epheleleyo kuloo ndawo. Yonke enye into eSingapore ilawulwa kwaye iyalinganiswa kwaye ithathelwa ingqalelo, utshilo uGoei. Kodwa oku kuyothusa, kwaye iNdiya encinci iseyingxaki, kwaye ndiyayithanda. Khohlo: Ufakelo lobugcisa kwigadi yeMyuziyam kaZwelonke. Kunene: Ngaphakathi ehotele iVagabond, ejolise ekubeni yindawo yokuhlanganisela amagcisa nababhali. UMatthieu Salvaing

UGoei wanditsalela ezantsi kwendlela, abathengisi abadlulileyo befumba iimango kunye neebhanana. Uye wema kwivenkilana esithengisa iintyatyambo zeentyatyambo: ukugqabhuka kwemagenta, bomvu, golide. Yinukise loo nto! wayalela. Ndiphefumlele. UJasmine. Sahamba amanye amanyathelo ngaphambi kokuba ame kwivenkile yeendaba. Ezicocekileyo ezishelfini bekukho iimagazini zesiTamil, iilekese, iisigarethi. Le yayiyintsusa ye-7-Eleven! Utshilo uGoei. Umnini-sakhiwo, umfazi wase-India enxibe i-sari eluhlaza, wahleka. Sizibiza ngokuba ziitafile zikamama— mama kuthetha ‘umIndiya,’ uqhubeke watsho. Ngokwenyani, inobuhlanga kakhulu kwaye ayichanekanga kwezopolitiko. Kuxakile.

Kwiminyaka engama-21, u-Goei wafudukela eNgilane, apho waba ngumntu wokuqala wase-Singapore owakhe watyunjelwa u-Olivier, ngenxa yokusebenza kwakhe kwindima ephambili ye-1989 ye-West End yokuvelisa M. Ibhabhathane . Wabuyela eSingapore kwiminyaka eli-15 eyadlulayo. Ndicinga ngokuhamba ngalo lonke ixesha, wandixelela. Kodwa uhlala evusa ingxoxo malunga nezihloko ezahlulayo. Ukusukela ngo-2009, u-Goei, ongumlingani, usebenze kwimveliso yamadoda onke Ukubaluleka kokufumana umvuzo. Yinkcazo ethe ngqo kwiPenal Code yaseSingapore 377A, umthetho waseBritane wexesha laseBritane, ongekaphindwa, owenza ukuba ubufanasini butyholwe. Le yayiyikhowudi efanayo nezohlwayo u-Oscar Wilde wayevalelwe ngenxa yokwaphula umthetho, utshilo. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ikhefu leKrisimesi yaseWild Rice lalikhona Iimpahla ezintsha zoMlawuli , yeyiphi-ke, uyayifumana ingongoma yakhe. Uhlanga, inkolo, isini, isini-ezi zizifundo ezingafunekiyo, ngokuyinxenye kuba singamagunya, ngokuyinxenye kuba singoosolusapho, wachaza. Ndifuna ukwenza ingxoxo malunga nabo.

Urhulumente usabonelela ngeepesenti ezisi-7 zebhajethi yenkampani yeqonga. Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, inkxaso-mali yayisikiwe-u-Goei akanangxaki nokuqikelela ukuba ngaba oko kohlwaya-emva koko ekugqibeleni kubuyiselwa. Yintoni iRice Rice ehlawula indawo yokusebenza (uninzi lwemveliso lubekwe kwiThala leencwadi leSizwe okanye iVictoria Theatre, bobabini bangabakarhulumente) idlula inkxaso-mali yayo. Umfanekiso esithanda ukuwubonisa kwihlabathi kukuba singummangaliso wezoqoqosho, utshilo. Kodwa jonga phantsi kwekhaphethi.

Kulula ukulibala ukuba iSingapore sisiqithi. Abahlali besiqithi banesimo sengqondo esingesabo nxamnye neliphi na ilizwe eliphikisayo, uRajeev Patke, umfundi wezoncwadi, wandixelela. Ngo-1963, iSingapore esandula ukuzimela yahlangana neMalaya engummelwane ukuze yenze ilizwe laseMalaysia. Ukungavisisani ngokobuhlanga nangokwezopolitiko kukhokelele ekugxothweni kweSingapore kulo mfelandawonye kwiminyaka emibini kamva. UPatke uthe ilizwekazi laseSingapore liya kuhlala liyiMalaysia. Kodwa mhlawumbi ilizwekazi elifanelekileyo alibonanga kangako ngokobume bomhlaba kunye noqoqosho lwentlalo, iSingapore izicingela phakathi kwamazwe atyebileyo, anamandla afana ne-UK okanye i-China-kwaye ingekho ecaleni kwabamelwane bayo base Mzantsi mpuma Asia.

UPatke ukhokela ulwahlulo loluntu lwaseYale-NUS, intsebenziswano phakathi kweYale kunye neYunivesithi kaZwelonke yaseSingapore eyamkela abafundi bayo bokuqala kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo. Sincokole kwivenkile yokutyela ese-alfresco ekhampasini evakalelwa njengelinge lokuqhuba kwabafundi kwiStarbucks. Uzalelwe eIndiya, ufundiswe eOxford, kwaye uzinze eSingapore kule minyaka ingama-30 idlulileyo, uPatke uyathandana: mbuze ngesiqithi, kwaye uya kubalisa ngeziqithi. Indawo yesiqithi saseSingapore iye yathetha ukuba zombini yahlukile kwilizwekazi kwaye iyabazi ubungakanani bayo kunye nomlinganiso wayo, ucacisile. Kuya kufuneka wakhe unxibelelwano lwehlabathi ukuze uphumelele. Kufuneka ube ngumyeni kwizixhobo zakho.

Ungazibona ezi ntshukumisa kumaza abaqulunqi abenza iindawo ezintsha kunye nokuphinda baxoxe ngemida yobugcisa yaseSingapore.

Kukho uHarpreet Bedi, owayesakuba ligqwetha laseSilicon Valley, ekunye nomyeni wakhe, uSatinder Garcha, oneehotele ezininzi edolophini. Unethemba lokuba ihotele iVagabond, iya kuba likholoni yamagcisa. Amagumbi amabini abekelwe amagcisa. Rhoqo emva kwemini, kwindawo yokulinda eyakhelwe i-Jacques Garcia kunye ne-salon, ubamba i-Lady Boss High Tea, enokutya neziselo zasimahla kubo bonke. Nawuphi na umzobi unokuxhoma nje, utshilo xa sihleli kwisithuba se-kitschy, boudoir-ish ngaphandle komkhombe omkhulu wobhedu ophindaphindwe kabini kwidesika yokungena. Uwangawangise ngesandla. Abantu beza balindele ukuba ndibenenwele ezimhlophe, ndinxibe igawuni kwaye nditshaya i-opium. (Iinwele zakhe zimnyama-jet. Unxibe ibhulukhwe entle. Kwaye akatshayi.) Kodwa ndifuna amagcisa eze nje. Yiba nokutya. Yenza. Khukuleka.

Kukwakho no-Ezzam Rahman, igcisa lokusebenza kunye nomkroli onamaphupha okudala ufakelo olukhulu lobhedu olwagwetywa ziindleko zokuthengiswa kwezindlu. Endaweni yoko, uhambe kancinci. Kunyaka ophelileyo, uphumelele ibhaso likaMongameli i-Young Talents Award kwiZiko loLondolozo lweMbali laseSingapore ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yeentyatyambo engama-34. Zintsonkothile kwaye zintle, zenziwe ngolusu olomileyo oluvunwe kwii-callus ezinyaweni zakhe. Ngoku uvelisa uthotho olutsha, kwinto enye, yeeorchid. Iveza i-angst yakhe njengomntu waseSingapore oyinzalelwane evakalelwa ngokungakhathalelwa kubalo oluninzi. NdingumMalay. Ndisisitabane. Ndimde. Ndityebile, utshilo uRahman.

Ndifuna ukubuza ubuni bethu besizwe kunye nokuchazwa kwayo. Eli lilizwe lokuqala nelifanelekileyo, liyakhazimla kwaye likhazimlisiwe.

Kwaye kukho iintlobo zoncwadi ezinje ngomnini venkile ethengisa iincwadi kunye nosomashishini uKenny Leck kunye neembongi uCyril Wong noPooja Nansi. Ndadibana nabo eTiong Bahru, indawo emnandi efumanekayo, enemigangatho emine yeebhloko zeflethi yenkulungwane — zonke iifestile zesamente kunye neejika zeArt Deco. Izitrato ezimxinwa zendlu ethengisa ngokuthe ngqo i-hipster-nayi into yakho yokucheba ubugcisa, kukho ijusi bar yakho-ecaleni kwivenkile yekona apho inenekazi elidala linokuphulukana nobuchule bokwenza i-wonton, kodwa hayi abathengi bayo. Khohlo: I-Tiong Bahru, yenye yezona ndawo zindala zezindlu eSingapore. Kunene: Uphuhliso olutsha lweSouth Beach kwiNdlela yaseBeach. UMatthieu Salvaing

Kwisitrato iYong Siak yivenkile yakwaLeck, iiNcwadi ngokwenyani, ivenkile yeencwadi ezimeleyo yenkulumbuso yaseSingapore. Uncwadi luyachuma kwidolophu.
