13 DECEMBER 2018 - SINGAPORE: A gold shop in the Joo Chiat complex. Joo Chiat is a multi-tower high rise residential estate. There are hawker food stalls and retail businesses on the ground floor and residences on the upper levels. The Geylang area of Singapore, between the Central Business District and Changi Airport, was originally coconut plantations and Malay villages. During Singapore's boom the coconut plantations and other farms were pushed out and now the area is a working class community of Malay, Indian and Chinese people. In the 2000s, developers started gentrifying Geylang and new housing estate developments were built. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
