Not too common sight.. grafitti ads in new lifts

Not too common sight.. are the grafitti art (advertisements)in new lifts...

In the past, whenever a new HDB estate has just T.O.P. the lift walls are littered with every square inch covered by opportunistic advertisers hawking their business.

These advertisers would find empty spaces on the temporary protective lift walls and paste their ads.

Some even resort to defacing their competitor's ads by tearing away the contact numbers. Or simply paste theirs on top of the competitor's.

In recent years, many developers would place a notice "demanding" such opportunists not to paste it onto the lift walls; as they have a specific notice board nearby. They merely have to seek permission to post this onto this wall.

HDB Compass Mast estate is today, a rare few that does not have the above scheme. And let them post it freely onto the temporary lift wall protective covering.

The graffiti art is uniquely SGP.

Very common to see them on the wall panels and ceiling of new lifts that are protected by temporary plywood sheets...

At Skyline I @ Bukit Batok; they even paste these adverts onto the protective floor panels
