The reason why i chose the Bronze statues of singapore is because i wanted to show you what were the occupations in the past. chinese men either worked as coolies or merchants or money lender, a malays worked as shopkeeper , indians worked as chettair , european a banker.
Of all these, the indian chettair , european banker and chinese money lender were the forefathers of the modern banking in the island.
The bronze sculptures were made to honour the piooners who set foot on Singapore centuries ago. coolies does hard labour, indian chetair trades thing with people, the chinese merchants sells things, malay shopkeepers would sell sarongs can food rice grains and alot more in the shop.
