Description of Programme

"On the Shoulders of Giants"

This tour series is our tribute to our founding fathers. While their contributions are wide-ranging, the tour aims to give participants a glimpse into key milestones in their lives, and the impact their decisions had in shaping Singapore. Let us remember the giants on whose shoulders we stand, drawing inspiration for a brighter tomorrow for future generations.

Lee Kuan Yew

Singapore’s success is synonymous with the name Lee Kuan Yew. As Singapore's first Prime Minister, he led the nation through crucial events, ensuring its survival and success. Visit the sites that were critical to his formative years, and what set him on the path towards achieving self-determination for Singapore. Explore significant venues that were part of his political journey such as Tanjong Pagar, Oxley Road, Old Parliament House and Former City Hall. While doing so, have the opportunity to read out his key speeches throughout his years of service and appreciate the impact that this man had on the Singapore we have inherited today.

Let us remember the giants on whose shoulders we stand on and be inspired in our dedication to building a better tomorrow for future generations.
