He transformed the pothole-ridden road with amazing art near Cubbon Park Junction area. To add a little punch, the artist had a mermaid sit around the pothole, her tail half dipped in the water.
Many such protests have happened in the past where people have planted tiny plants on the road. Some of them even went on to put a big crocodile, just to grab government's attention, but everything falls on dumb ears.
Let's hope that with time and more such protests, we get the roads we deserve.
