Ca-Mie De Souza, Channel NewAsia 13 Oct 08;

SINGAPORE: Pulau Ubin, a small rustic island north east of Singapore, is the subject of a solo exhibition by former Member of Parliament and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Ho Kah Leong.

The exhibition features paintings of passenger boats docked at the jetty, the tranquil quarry lake and bygone village life.
These are some of Dr Ho's favourite scenes of Pulau Ubin since he started painting the island 15 years ago.

Each of the 20 pieces is priced at S$12,000 and many pieces have already been sold.

This is Dr Ho's eighth solo exhibition.

Some of the 71-year-old artist's paintings have been compiled into a calendar to raise funds for a senior citizens charity.

The exhibition is at the Black Earth Art Museum, 352 Joo Chiat Road, till October 19. It is open from noon to 9pm daily, except Mondays.
