MAINTENANCE OF SCULPTURES AT GARDENS BY THE BAY

I visited Gardens by the Bay in the morning. No doubt, the plants and flowers are very well maintained and kept free from diseases. However, the management (if it is responsible) has not maintained the MOTHER AND CHILD sculpture by Dr Ng Eng Teng for a very long time. It is stained and has large patches of mould on the body. For this instance, I have to give a one-star rating.

This situation reminds me of The Merlion which, at one time, had rusty stains on its mouth, but today, it is very clean and white. I hope the authorities will look into cleaning up this statue which is seen by overseas tourists.

I must say, the stains add "character" to the statue for the purpose of my photography. I had photographed the Mother and Child sculpture at the National Gallery Singapore, but it does not look "scary" as it is better maintained.
