Previously there have been several en bloc sale attempts but it wasn't successful. However there's been another another attempt again this month! Hence the team has decided to check out this area and visit.

Sketches of Golden Mile Complex
Did 3 sketches at Golden Mile Complex at different days and times.
Huge turn out at this month’s sketchwalk on Saturday, 25 March 2023. So crazy how it developed to this level. It was just my SIMPLE IDEA in Nov 2009 to fix every last Saturday of the month for 4 of us to meet and sketch.
We are the one to coin the word SKETCHWALK too in 2009 and now it’s used all over the world. Really crazy haha
