Earth’s Make-Over (April24)

 


Planet Earth...
Craning round on Lavender – Boon Keng Corner. Nondescript light industrial either side of the river. 
Post-Covid Darwin Interiors along there somewhere on the No. 21 was no more; couldn't be sighted.
Planet Earth. The only one we had, as the enviro guys were warning and the US Republicans denying. (There was the moon and beyond for one thing.) 
A senior government Minister here had recently explained the absence of a US delegation at a forum by pointing out the Democratic Party in the States did not in fact consider Singapore a democracy. Stood to reason no-show.
This was shortly before the wheels were set in motion for the election of the new President; the incumbent would not be seeking a second term. (Management of a $500m enterprise recently stipulated as one of the chief qualifications for the role.) 
Darwin had always seemed odd. Did it reference the great thinker, or the town on the great southern land?  Effective, penetrating branding was always a challenge here.
Planet Earth... A New Era of Décor. 
Coming soon. Finishing touches were being delivered presently behind the rice paper screens.
