Episode summary
HDB flats are a ubiquitous sight in Singapore, but we do not pause to look at them, and realize that every block and estate has it own uniqueness. Within its walls, these flats hold the stories, hopes and dreams of many. They are just like your everyday, under appreciated housewives ­– someone so intimately close to our daily lives, yet someone whom we tend to take for granted.

About Unseen/Unsaid
Using narratives from everyday Singaporeans to personify forgotten trades and places, Unseen/Unsaid allow viewers a glimpse into the personal struggles of individual Singaporeans whose stories draw a parallel with the surrounding places and landscapes. The 10-part series is born out of a desire to preserve the fragments of Singapore’s past that is rapidly being replaced by new developments.

One new episode will be released from 29 June, 2011, every Wednesday, 11.00AM on rediscover.sg till the week of 31 August, 2011.

The Unseen/Unsaid Paper Toys Collection
As a tie-in with our Unseen/Unsaid series, Lizzy and Jeremy of the RediscoverSG crew have spent the past few months designing a set of five paper toys related to the people/places featured in our webisodes.

These DIY paper toys are retailing at $20 for a set of 5. 100% of the proceeds from the first 500 sets sold will go to the MILK (Mainly I Love Kids) fund to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

If you'll like to buy a set, head over to our shop. Toys are sold while stocks last. We ship both locally and internationally.
