The mural at the lift lobby was created using white vinyl stickers and emulated the iconic Toa Payoh dragon playground.Remember the red-themed HDB blocks in Tampines North that made headlines in 2023 for their “creepy” aesthetic? One of those blocks is in the spotlight again after a dragon mural put up by a couple for Chinese New Year was taken down days later.
The husband, who requested anonymity, said he and his wife wanted to brighten the mood in the neighbourhood. They spent at least an hour designing and assembling the artwork, using white vinyl stickers to emulate the iconic Toa Payoh dragon playground. Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng told The Straits Times he found out about the dragon mural on Feb 5 from a resident who described it as “sweet” and “nice”.
The town council told ST the creators had put up the decorations before requesting formal approval. A cleaner, following cleaning and maintenance protocols, then removed the stickers.
