Singapore is a fairyland of decorations in the centre. On the corner of Orchard Road is the landmark Tang's department store. The pillars are decorated red and white, light and bright.

The pillars themselves are painted red. That itself is an innovation. Most pillars worldwide are white. Red is the auspicious, boding well, lucky colour, in Singapore, China, and Asian countries. 

For the winter shopping season the streets are decorated and Tang's has made even more of the red and white theme familiar from the costume of Santa Claus. The white fairy lights go upwards, emphasizing the height of the vertical pillars. The ring of green holly leaves at the top echoes the dark ring around the base of the pillars.
