Note the function of the arts in decorating what would otherwise be a sterile and barren -- albeit functioning -- space,....and also as a vehicle for conveying history -- capturing a slice of history to the arts; offering a 'window' for commuters to take a peek into the history of the nation...

“We hope that the Serangoon mural will remind the residents of Serangoon’s rich history and culture, and help build a stronger sense of identity within the local community,”

the mural served as a reminder of “the difficult times that Singapore had gone through during the war years and the sacrifice of some brave men and women who put the country before themselves”.
