the "fire alarm" outside the old shophouses along ann siang
hill
it is a wooden baton and a wok
it is in a olden days letterbox-like case outside the
shophouse...
there's a note there saying tts the fire alarm for the
neighbourhood in old singapore.....
someone will take the baton and hit the wok to make noise to alert
the ppl of fire or other emergencies........
i came across it with during a field study of the area's
buildings...
a couple of years later, i went back, wanting to take a pic of it
but then it's gone.....tt stretch undergoing some urban
redevelopment.....
a pity tt i can't capture it on film but it was a good experience
to have at least seen it
