Sense And Nonsense by Tan Bah Bah
I am a fan of Mustafa Centre. Singapore cannot claim to be a city that never sleeps if there are no 24-hour outlets or long-hour ones like the Syed Alwi Road shopping department which never closed before the Covid-19 pandemic. It now operates until 2 am. I see no reason why it would not return to 24-hour when business picks up.I fully understand that commercial enterprises survive only when there is enough business to keep them going.
It added something substantial to Singapore’s attraction as a tourist as well as lifestyle place to be.Just take Orchard Road which has now become one big shopping centre – and nothing else. Having “a night out” itself, particularly on weekends, may have become almost impossible. No Mohamed Sultan Road. No Planet Marina/Marina Village. No Rumours, no Scandals, no Fire. No splashy big-time nightclubs along Orchard Road.
This city does not have any night life whatsoever. Strange that it is not because it never had. Singapore had a vibrant night scene not that long ago. Even before the Europa, Mohamed Sultan Road and Planet Marina era, the city was filled with so many night spots from Seletar to Pasir Panjang to even two ships
