Lim Tze Peng’s enormous painting of the Sungei Road Thieves’ Market is epitome of its reputation as one of the biggest and oldest flea market in Singapore. He captures the scene of the market at its busiest, with a multitude of peddlers under large umbrellas selling their products. The brown hues highlight the dusk hours when the market is at peak capacity, and the bold paint strokes exudes lively energy of the hustle and bustle of the busy market.

浮沉80载，已经走入历史的结霜桥被林子平先生画进了画布里，昔日熙熙攘攘的跳蚤市场彷佛再次映在世人眼前。这曾经的新加坡最大的跳蚤市场，还有一个称道的名字“贼市场”(Theives Market)，因为在上世纪30年代，这里曾是曾是不少盗贼销赃的好地方。记忆中的并排的老旧店屋，阳伞下的本土生活样貌，在林子平眼里，回忆里是鲜艳的，活泼热情的对比色。
