Yishun isn’t HDB’s first project. Indeed, it is actually quite a late-comer.

But Northpoint Shopping Mall is the first major shopping mall built in the heart of a HDB residential estate. Today, simply known as Northpoint City, the entire project came with lots of apprehension in 1992.

As time has proven, Northpoint Shopping Mall has proven so successful that it has gone through some major upgrading works. There is even a multi-screen cinema complex – first known as Yishun Ten.

Today, both are standard major landmarks at Yishun. It is surreal to imagine that Yishun was once part farmland and part pineapple plantation.

Chong Pang Village, just a stone-throw away, adds to the charm of a local HDB marketplace. Chong Pang Market completes the scene with a vibrant market that visitors come from all over the island.

Today, Chong Pang Village is undergoing some major upgrading works. So, the scene is set to change – in time to come.

I invite you to take a walk with me down memory lane. We will meet at Yishun MRT at 9am on Sunday, 14th May 2023. This tour ends at about 11.30, maybe 12pm at Chong Pang Village just in time for a very real kampong lunch.
