We’ll meet at Raffles MRT in front of The Arcade (street level). This is a sightseeing (and ogling) walking tour. Lunchtime at Raffles Place is a beautiful (and happy) place to watch the world rolling by.

In minutes, you’ll realise the female population here far outnumber the male. There is a reason. The narration on this tour is but a filler, but yours truly will try my best to win you over.

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.

It may sound unbelievable, but many of us 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 make public housing for the burgeoning population.

This tour will refresh the memories for 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.

If you are a visiting tourist, you must try your best to do this tour because this is your best opportunity to rub shoulders with our local folks. On top of that, 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”.

You will also find out what happened to the knoll that was fondly called “Scandal Point”. Meet me in front of The Arcade just above the Raffles Place MRT. We meet at 12pm on the 18th April, and hope to be done by 2pm, or maybe 2.30pm. You can recognise me with my Tourist Guide Badge TG4737.
