Description of Programme
Join us as we trace Singapore’s interesting journey on its route to Independence as it moved from Colony to Nation. Understand the struggles faced by our leaders during that era. Learn about how the people of Singapore were governed by our Colonial masters and the changes in our political system after independence.
Visit key historic buildings, such as Old Parliament House, former City Hall and Supreme Court, all of which played a significant role in shaping who we are as a nation. Discover the fascinating stories behind War Memorials in the Civic District, and understand the motivation that drove thousands to fight for a flag and eventual independence.
