Street Hawker
Lee Yun Hong
The sculpture describes the life of a street hawker, a common sight
in Singapore from the thirties to early eighties. It gives a glimpse of
the lives of early immigrants in Singapore, depicted through the
“tick-tock man”, who used a bamboo stick to hit a hardwood rod,
producing a rhythmic “tick tock tick tock” sound as a way to
announce his arrival to his customers. In his baskets, he was selling
homemade noodles with fish balls, a local dish that remains
popular to this day.
