The friendly teh tarik man has been immortalised as a bronze sculpture! Local artist Lim Leong Seng created this piece complete with the man’s lunghi (traditional skirt) and the famous tea-pulling action.

My personal favourite is the Nonya bronze sculpture also by Lim. The intricate batik detail on her kebaya is amazing!

There are actually two versions of Sohn Jinah’s chair composition, entitled “Confession”. Photographed above is the bronze piece. There is also a coloured version somewhere but we’ll leave it to you to find it!
