“In something of a coup for Singaporean history buffs and art lovers, a part of the Berlin Wall – a symbol of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West, and which was torn down 18 years ago this month – is to be displayed at the sleepy environs of Bedok Reservoir. The four, 4m-high sections are of historical significance, but are also intended to be an art installation.
