Walking down a street in Singapore, I came across this poster. If you are going to say ‘yeah – so what?’ or what is the maqsad (purpose) of this post then my answer would be imagine if you are walking on a street outside Pakistan and you see this poster – then won’t you get stuck for few moments? That is what happened to me. I got stuck on this poster for few seconds and took this photo. I was not expecting a Pakistani promotion on a street in Singapore. I also didn’t know that Pakistan is the 2nd largest exporter of clothing in the World. After looking at the poster, I saw a world of potential. Do you?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

While studying in Singapore in 90’s I had a hard time telling them where Pakistan was. :)
Love the poster. Not just because its on Pakistan, but the picture and graphic is also so cool.

Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “MASHA ALLAH”
– “hhmm..gud..”
– “awwwww thanks hsbc”
– “The embassy of Pakistan in Singapore has been the best embassy so far I have seen … They were always very helpful and eager to promote Pakistan .. Hats off to them “
The real question is why is the government of Pakistan not doing this.
We have an ambassador of Pakistan in Washington who still goes around bad-mouthing Pakistan, as he recently did. Indeed we are our own worst enemy.
