    These traditional treats made by hand in Singapore is fast dying out... So glad he's still carrying on the tradition.

    I'm not surprised; Singapore is a cultural melting pot and is very modern in some ways, so it's not like there's a single culture to preserve, nor is that its priority.

    In Singapore it was dying.But here in Indonesia,hundreds of companies like Lek Lim have been closed down every 2 years remembering how hard is the competition in the market as Indonesia have a lot of labor that eat this kind of cake very often in the morning before they go to work.Would love to visit it as there is no such mentioned in the tourist guide books and I wanna try how difference is between Indonesian and Singaporean style 'kueh'

In the meantime , use your magnifier and spot something negative to present . Even if apocalypse comes lol , you should not bother , focus on your targets . Good job bbc .
