Description of Programme
This cycling tour ""Singapore Past Present and Future"" traces the history of Singapore, from its earliest days as a trading port around the Singapore River, through to the arrival of the British and the rise to be the Empire’s most important strategic point in the Far East. The glory days as the centre of colonial interests in the Far East with their impressive government buildings and streets preceded the years of war and Japanese occupation, each leaving its mark on monuments and memorials along the route. We also see evidence of the meteoric rise post-independence to become a shining beacon in many areas of endeavour – port services, banking, finance, tourism, arts and heritage, industry, leisure and entertainment, along with Singapore’s futuristic outlook and orientation. The Marina Barrage stands as a testament to Singapore’s grit and innovation in their quest for water self-sufficiency, one of many challenges Singapore faced over the years.
Specific Learning Points –
• Singapore’s early history, British colonial times, post-independence challenges and growth
• Maritime Singapore, the growth and importance of tourism and MICE
