Supremely Disgusting

Every time I walk past the new Supreme Court, I stare aghast at the garish patterns on the glass-panelled stone walls, and marvel at the idea of having a pseudo-modern building which in typical tasteless Singaporean fashion, is a motley collection of ideas that once put together, scream "Obiang".

Why on earth could they not have designed a court to look like a court - stately, majestic, solid and timeless?

One only has to look at the new Parliament House to see that even though it is a modern building, it retains the essence of decorum found in Colonial architecture, albeit in less elaborate form.

The Supreme Court, on the other hand, is a nightmare to behold. Perhaps justice is indeed found in the unlikeliest of places?

A Canadian friend of Eldred's and I deduced that it IS a UFO and that all our States men will flee to it (and it will take off) should Aliens come to occupy the Earth or Malaysia... whichever comes first. Lol.

Singapore destroys beautiful structures everyday and built upon their site, hideous forms that they think modern or artistic... but that are really dated pieces of concrete and metal that will look seriously stupid over time. We get rid of our cultural heritage and replace it with thrash. Sad sad sad.
