    green matters Annual Report 2015/16 2 GREEN MATTERS NPARKS ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 3 green matters Access to greenery is integral to Singapore’s efforts to improve the quality of life for her residents. Singapore’s green infrastructure has grown with more parks, green spaces and Nature Ways. Ecological resilience has been strengthened through sustained conservation efforts and the establishment of Nature Parks and reserves. Significant efforts have also been made to ensure that all residents can gain access to our parks and gardens. The greening of Singapore is important in creating a quality living environment, but it is not a task that NParks can undertake alone. It is a constant work in progress that involves people from all walks of life, coming together with a shared vision – and conviction that green matters – to continue shaping Singapore into a City in a Garden. 04 GREEN MATTERS NPARKS ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 05 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE “We have taken to heart the role of greenery as a social equaliser, moving beyond convenience and proximity of our green spaces to ensure accessibility for all. ” As a nation, our challenge for Beyond SG50 is to improve as a social equaliser, moving beyond convenience and liveability for all Singaporeans. At the National Parks proximity of our green spaces to ensure accessibility for Board (NParks), our role in this mission is clear – to all.

    “S.S. KUALA” Researched Passenger List Sunk at Pom Pong Island 14 February 1942 [Version 6.8.0; April 2017]

    “S.S. KUALA” Researched Passenger List Sunk at Pom Pong Island 14 February 1942 [Version 6.8.0; April 2017] Preface: This list and document have been compiled as a memorial and out of empathy and respect to the women, children and men who lost their lives in that cruel attack by Japanese bombers on the small coastal ship, converted into an auxiliary vessel, “SS. Kuala” on 14 February 1942, twelve hours after it escaped from Singapore. This was the day before Singapore surrendered to the Japanese. Many of the women and children were killed on the ship itself, but even more by continued direct bombing and machine gunning of the sea by Japanese bombers whilst they were desperately trying to swim the few hundred yards to safety on the shores of Pom Pong Island. Many others were swept away by the strong currents which are a feature around Pom Pong Island and, despite surviving for several days, only a handful made it to safety. The Captain of the “Kuala”, Lieutenant Caithness, recorded of the moment “…thirty men and women floated past on rafts and drifted east and then south – west, however only three survivors were picked up off a raft on the Indragiri River, a man and his wife and an army officer…”. The bombing continued even onto the Island itself as the survivors scrambled across slippery rocks and up the steep slopes of the jungle tangled hills of this small uninhabited island in the Indonesian Archipelago – once again, Caithness, recorded “…but when the struggling women were between the ships and the rocks the Jap had turned and deliberately bombed the women in the sea and those struggling on the rocks…”.
  • The Case of Sungei Road Market

    The Case of Sungei Road Market

    10TH CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON URBANISM: THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CITY Urban Village of Start-ups: The Case of Sungei Road Market Chong, Keng Hua Gao, Tongchaoran Singapore University of Technology and Design 8 Somapah Road, Singapore 487372 Contact: +65 63036672, [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the value of a long-established informal ground-up market place in Singapore, Sungei Road Market (1930s-2017), which recently gave way to urban development. To better understand its urban-village nature, this paper traces the history of Sungei Road Market and studies the social aspects of the market and its stakeholders. Interviews with the stall owners, patrons, and public were conducted to acquire different perspectives of its history and future. In addition, field observations and asset mapping retrieve further insights of the market’s operations. Based on this study, we reveal that the true value of Sungei Road Market lies in the intangible ones – in the form of vendor-vendor network and vendor-visitor network, showing a case of resilience throughout the decades. It also formed a special case of cohesive community and public facility for the lower- income empty nesters. The complex micro-ecosystem developed, in which symbiotic relationships and competition coexisted, presented a case of unique business model and a ground-up entrepreneur culture in the early days. While the issues of heritage or conservation are beyond the scope of this paper, the study nevertheless present the intangible values of Sungei Road Market. Keywords: Urban village, informal entrepreneur, social resilience, network, ground-up public space Subtheme: INFORMALITY (c) Mapping the Impact of Informal Social-Economic Dynamics on Urban Space Introduction Before its closure, the Sungei Road Market was the go-to place for members of the public looking for cheap antiques and vintage artifacts.

It is The Sympathizer by Pulitzer Prize-winner Viet Thanh Nguyen. This book was highly recommended by two of our book groups. We had a good turnout for our Public Information Meeting (PIM) in May with many sign-ups for the docent training programme in September. If you missed out on this event, it is not too late to enrol, as we will be holding another PIM on 31 August at the National Museum of Singapore. The month of May also brought cheer to our volunteers as we celebrated their contributions at the Annual Volunteers Appreciation Morning. We gave out long-service pins to well-deserving volunteers, with Sabine Silverstein receiving her 20-year pin. Her sustained involvement in FOM is an inspiration to all.
