Malay culture offers strong attractions – membership of the majority Muslim community, wider social links and connections with pan-Southeast Asian Islamic movements and so on. This clearly indicates the vitality that still exists in the Singapore Malay culture, and the attractiveness of it as a cultural model, particularly by those other groups who already share some of its cultural premises, and in particular Islam and a knowledge of the Malay language.

Clarke Quay C Clinic

C Clinic

C Clinic is a bar & restaurant that serves food & beverages. It’s located at Block B of Clarke Quay in Singapore. It has an unique alfresco and it is easily identified by its hospital whites, colourful pills, syringes, drips, test-tubes and paraphernalia in all manner of the clinical! It looks quite funny as the ironic pharma-kitsch décor does appeal somehow. What do you think of it?

Does this look familiar to you?
