Description of Programme
Embark on a journey of discovery into Singapore's shady past as a struggling, developing nation rife with crime. Get a snapshot of an island that is almost unrecognisable from the modern metropolis we know today.
Visit the now-recognised tourist belt of Pagoda, Smith, and Trengganu Streets and learn how coolies from places as far as China plied their trades while still forging strong bonds and friendships. At the Singapore City Gallery, understand the crucial role of urban planning and how the Urban Redevelopment Authority shaped the many streets and paths we walk today.
