Discover the hidden stories of Singapore’s past on a captivating walking tour from Khatib to Springleaf. While the MRT offers a quick journey, we’ll take the scenic route, stepping back in time to explore what was once a primitive riverine estuary. This area was home to the Orang Seletar, a tribal nomadic community who lived on boats along the riverbanks. They were the original inhabitants of this land, but where have they gone? Join us as we trace their footsteps along the very river they once called home.

Not long ago, the Orang Seletar relied on the rivers for their livelihood. Today, Sungai Seletar has transformed dramatically, with its waters now flowing through canals, drains, and even a reservoir. This tour spans six to seven decades, offering a glimpse into the remarkable evolution of Springleaf. Once a thriving coconut and rubber plantation, it has since grown into a modern community, yet its rich history remains etched in the landscape.

We’ll explore how this area has changed over time, reflecting on the lives of the Orang Seletar and the natural environment they once thrived in. It’s a journey through history, nature, and transformation, offering a unique perspective on Singapore’s development.

Meet us at 9am on Sunday, 20th April 2025, at Khatib MRT Station, just next to the control station. Lace up your walking shoes and join us for an unforgettable stroll through time. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to uncover the fascinating stories of Springleaf’s past.
