No wonder some books there got mold.

[Lukongsimi]

How are they going to do with all the books after closure ?

[Bigiron]

What will happen to the 2nd hand book?🤔🤔 Give away free?

[Blasterlord2]

The place is a gem. I bought many difficult to find books there.

[Lukongsimi]

Maybe send left over books to libraries

[SotongOngTee]

Wondering whether those books in library are sanitized against Covid?

Doubt so
So many books to sanitise one by one  maybe just gun spray around the library

Just convert all the shops to FnB.

Maybe can have a China Food Mall - the best of all of China.

Sichuan food (but not always mala, please).
Guangdong food
Shandong food
Shanghai food
Beijing food
Henan food
Hunan food
Jiangnan food
etc

We can have a taste of all of China there.

I am sure it will be very popular with the local Chinese community here which numbers about 450K.

I believe even Singaporeans will patronise...yes, do remember to sell freshly made stinky tofu too.

It will become a tourist attraction.

In pre-covid days, I used to "patrol" the food streets of various cities of China.

You will be spoilt for choice.

It's not like ours with a limited range of food...the same old bak chor mee, *Roasted Delights*, Mee Hoon Kway, and some fake Korean food, or a Wanton Noodle stall...and it's rinsed and repeat in all shopping malls' food courts.  In China, their food streets are never identical between one city and another. You can eat in China for a lifetime, and you never finish eating all of the vast array of cuisine there...

Why must do that leh? What a waste lah!

Go and wash your hands thoroughly in the toilet with soap solutions more effective lah!

Reflecting on the closure of Knowledge Book Centre at Bras Basah Complex, a year later, it's still a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by small businesses, particularly secondhand bookstores. In the fast-paced world, it's not uncommon for these beloved establishments to struggle due to rising costs.For those who continue to seek the magic of secondhand books and support independent sellers, even in the absence of a beloved local store, https://sacfleamarkets.com/ remains a valuable destination. It's a place where book lovers can explore a diverse array of pre-loved books and connect with sellers who share their enthusiasm.
