A bridge that divides


 
The 'bridges' that divide
 
by Mak Yuen Teen
 
 
Having travelled extensively, it struck me
that we may be one of the countries
with the most overhead bridges relative to size and population.
I see these bridges as a metaphor for the divide
between the rich and the poor, the sick and the healthy,
the young and the old, "old" citizens and "new" citizens.

My wife and I returned to Singapore in 1996 with our children, aged three and one,
after living in New Zealand for 15 years.
