Traditional street cobblers are now rarely seen in Singapore as we continue the march towards commercialism and modernity.
Although the nature of their work is informal and humble, it is important for us to remember that these cobblers bear testimony to the entrepreneurial spirit of our city-state and are part of a rich cultural heritage to the early years of Singapore.
We are fortunate to locate a traditional cobbler in the heartland- Teck Whye Lane. Kindly look at my video for the interview we had with Cobbler Zhang.
