Housed in the former Supreme Court building, the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery features over 300 artworks that trace shared artistic impulses across Southeast Asia. Beginning in the mid-19th century, the exhibition navigates Southeast Asia’s art history as an ongoing encounter with the new, as artists across the region negotiate the meaning of art and seek to reinvent vernacular expressions and aesthetics. Presented largely chronologically and interspersed with key turning points in artistic sensibilities, the exhibition also identifies how art is inextricably linked to the region’s turbulent social and political history. 
The exhibition owes its title to Chairil Anwar, one of Indonesia’s most cherished poets. In his 1948 poem Krawang-Bekasi, Chairil Anwar lamented the massacre of villagers by Dutch colonial troops in West Java, giving vent to the desire for national independence at the time. This line can also be said of the experience of many artists in the region, caught between manifesto and dream, personal and political. 
The curatorial narrative explores four themed locations in roughly chronological order, each of which critically examines common artistic impulses in the region during each period: Authority and Anxiety, Imagining the Nation and the Self, Performing the Nation, and Redefining Art.

Be sure to take the first small train, otherwise it will be too dark and the animals can&#39;t see clearly. Those who have not been there can experience it, which is more novel. Finally, you can watch a show at the door, and you can go back to the house. It is also very convenient to take the subway.

Take a taxi to the mountain, go directly to the luge, remember to confirm the scheduled time (I missed it, but Miss Sister changed the time), if you slide down the ticket many times and then take the cable car to slide, overall it is worth playing, the fare is not very expensive, When you slide down, the speed is very cool. It is recommended to slide down and buy a cup of coconut. After drinking, take the cable car to slide. If you leave, take the cable car to the mountain to take a taxi.

Sentosa

Natural scenery

Sentosa Island is very good, the theme park has more projects, Jurassic Park, Xiaohuangren, etc. On the island, the ecology is mainly good, there are many birds, and I have seen seagulls, peacocks and lizards. The accommodation is more expensive. The hotel does not provide breakfast. Others are OK.
