In 2013, the site of the once popular Queenstown cinema and bowling centre was set to be demolished.
The leaders of civic group My Community - Mr Kwek Li Yong and Mr Jasper Tan, both 24 then - scoured the building to retrieve items such as its bowling pins. Mr Tan even scaled the building to save its neon Queensway sign.
