We meet in front of The Arcade, just above Raffles MRT. This is (in reality a sight-seeing walking tour) with a narration (including time to smell the roses) as we walk.

Too many of us simply walk past our several heritage highlights at Raffles Place, let alone the entire Civic District. Too many of us take our own country for granted. We shouldn’t.

This is one tour that will keep you updated on some of our last few remaining monuments and buildings. You’ll also learn why and how they came to be so. It may sound unbelievable, but there are many of us who have yet to step into our very own Old Supreme Court.

This old-looking building isn’t exactly really old. It was built only in 1939 – just about at the same time when they were struggling to build public housing for the burgeoning population. This tour will refresh the memories of many of our senior citizens, and at the same time, give our younger audience a first-hand account of what happened around these areas – especially our Singapore River.

By the end of this tour, you will also understand why Sir Stamford Raffles didn’t quite agree with William Farquhar who by now, many of us see as “The Unsung Hero of Singapore”.

We meet at The Arcade, just above Raffles MRT, 9am on Sun, 18th June 2023, and hope to be done by 12pm.
