I set out to capture those many do not usually associate with our affluent country. I enjoyed meeting these amazing people, who to most just have mundane jobs or are not of much importance, but they have such interesting stories to tell! I hope to someday publish these and have profits help The Rainbow Center, a school for children with special needs that my sister went to, because I think we forget sometimes that they are important too.
So these are the unseen heroes of My Country:
A butcher at Ghim Moh Market, what we call a "wet market."
A street ice cream vendor on the Clarke Quay river front.
These foreign workers keep grass all over the island neat and tidy!
Primary school girls getting ready to celebrate National Day.
"Aunties" enjoying a picnic with take out! And our iconic skyline in the background.
Children watched by their domestic helper, commonly called a maid.
A Changi International Airport worker rounding up stray luggage carts.
Singapore Airlines Ground staff in the Changi International Airport.
Air Force pilots protecting our skies.
Children from Unity Primary School watching a Civil Defense demonstration.
An egg seller in Tekka Market.
A fish monger in Tekka Market.
