“If ‘Sim Ah Boy’ can do it, so can you! Here’s my personal contribution to our 1965 Heritage Collection - a tribute to our greatest founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew and the iconic dragon of our childhood memories. Heritage isn’t just about looking back - it’s about how the past connects with who we are today! This piece brings together the iconic grit of 1965 with the bold energy of today’s youth culture. Whether your artistic style is traditional, nolstalgic, or modern and experimental, every story has a place in our 1965 showcase.”

“Here’s another of my personal contribution to our 1965 Heritage Collection - Playfully as ‘Sim Ah Boy’, 3 years old, it’s lighthearted reminder that art isn’t about perfection, it’s about reconnecting with the childlike joy of storytelling and keeping our shared history alive. I hope this piece inspires you to embrace your creativity and show us what Singapore’s heritage means to you!”
