Streisand effect kicked in and now more people are aware of this mural and it should be left untouched.

I find this mural art is very cool and engaging in a way that the expression of the samsui women is very full with emotion.

Mural right outside Maxwell mrt. Double story mural, great history with government on that fiasco.
Cliona Yong
Really beautiful mural that brings colour and life to this small side road. It provokes you stop, admire, and then think! I hope it doesn’t need to be changed so that the artist’s original intent can be kept.

Legendary Stunning mural art in Singapore

Before any changes is made to it. Nothing wrong in my view. What is she holding on her hands? Great piece of art.
Bernise Ang
It’s great art. And as a Singaporean, I feel proud to see diverse representations of women in our public spaces.

The mural takes up the whole side of the wall across the street from the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple which is in beautiful vibrant colors of a samsui lady smoking a cigarette (apparently taking a break) while sitting down. She also has a jade bracelet on her left hand and is holding a yellow and red piece of paper. The samsui women were a group of Chinese immigrants who came to Malaysia and Singapore during 1920-1940s looking for construction and industrial jobs. Overall, a cool seemingly simple mural with a lot of background history.

One of many beautiful murals on our local heritage in Chinatown. This art piece illustrates a member of the Samsui women (Hong Tou Jin/Red Headscarf), who were hardworking construction workers responsible for building Singapore in the yesteryears. It is located on the same building as Ya Kun, just beside Maxwell MRT station.
