Yes, the evidence was there and is waiting to be explored yet different people would somewhat have different degree of appreciation. The clock tower for example, an important landmark built in the 1890's because people dont carry pocket watches and having a time piece at that time was considered a luxury.
Hence the existence of the clock tower, (refer to Tuesday 17 July) a common monument shared by everyone with one function: to tell the time. A wealthy businessman, Tan Swee Bee donated the fund for the construction of the clock tower and in 1982 it received a facelift.
The sad thing was on the fate of the original clock, during the facelift, SEIKO sponsored the time piece and inadvertedly the original time piece had been 'misplaced'. And as usual no one would admit to this debacle.
