The Final Shot

On Gardens
by Isabelle Lim
This issue of Mynah is a rich archive of alternative narratives that ask ‘What gets remembered, and what fades into footnotes?’ From the colonial hangover of the Singapore Sling to speculative vignettes of a Singapore untouched by British rule, these essays challenge official memory. This is an invitation for us to remember differently, and to question the stories we’ve been told about ourselves.
