THE FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT

A zine documenting the curious subculture around shoplifting at Mustafa Centre.

Set in Little India, this zine explores a lesser-spoken side of Mustafa Centre — the late-night loitering, impulsive shoplifting, and unspoken rites of passage tied to a specific generation of Singaporean youth.

The design mimics the overstimulating environment of the 24-hour mall through loud layouts and clashing visuals, while the writing blends personal reflection and dry humour to examine themes of temptation, peer influence, and space.
