In dieser Stadt passiert nicht nur viel Neues im Wonne- vielen Verboten. monat Mai, sondern das ganze Jahr über. Der Wandel ist permanent, Veränderun- gen an der Tagesordnung. Dort wo gerade noch eine saftige Grünfläche war, ist von einem auf den anderen Tag ein Bauzaun gezogen. Es entsteht ein Hotel oder eine Wohnsiedlung. Landgewinnung in der Vertikalen. Einkaufszentren sprießen aus dem Boden wie Pilze. Aber es scheint, als sei keiner sonderlich davon gerührt, dass die Veränderung permanent und Stetigkeit selten ist. Wahrscheinlich, weil die meisten das Tempo dieser Stadt nicht anders kennen und weil das Tempo die Stadt zu dem gemacht hat, was sie heute ist. Natürlich sucht auch unser Team stets nach neuen Themen. Dabei sind wir in diesem Monat auf ein ganz besonderes Thema gestoßen. Eines, das dem Wandel Seite 12 der Zeit in allernächster Zukunft zum Opfer fallen wird: der Bahnhof in Tanjong Pagar. Zum ersten Juli soll dort der Betrieb eingestellt werden. Allerhöchste Eisen- Der Bahnhof in Tanjong bahn, dass wir diesen noch existierenden Teil Singapurs unter die Lupe nehmen, Pagar wird demnächst ge- schlossen. bevor er zur Geschichte wird. Andrea Deyerl hat sich mit dem Zug auf nach Johor Bahru gemacht und nimmt Sie mit auf diese kurze, aber lohnenswerte Reise. Wiepke van Aaken hat den Bahnhof auf ihren Streifzügen durch die Stadt besucht und erklärt die Architektur des Gebäudes. Noch ist es nicht zu spät. Besuchen Sie den Bahnhof und lassen Sie die besondere Atmosphäre auf sich wirken. Ich war bereits dort und habe mir bei einem Teh Tarik das Treiben angesehen. Bewaffnet mit einer Kamera habe ich zumindest für mein privates Album einen zukünftigen Teil der Geschichte Singapurs festgehalten. Auf etwas Neues möchte ich Sie noch hinweisen: in der kommenden Ausgabe werden wir auf vielfachen Wunsch unserer Leser einen Kleinanzeigenmarkt im Seite 26 Heft haben. Wenn Sie etwas verkaufen wollen oder Sie suchen etwas, dann schal- ten Sie doch eine Kleinanzeige in unserem Sommermarkt in der Juni/ Juli Ausgabe Der witzige und spritzige von Impulse.

The idea for a national garden was planted in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, developed the first Botanical and Experimental Garden at Fort Canning. In 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was established at the Tanglin site and in the 160 years past, it has flourished from a pleasure garden for the colonial community to a place cherished by all Singaporeans, a botanical institution known internationally. Singapore’s greening journey took root in the 1960s when founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat Tree at Farrer Circus. This kickstarted a national effort for tree planting, sowing the seed of a green home where beautiful parks and green belts would be the birthright of every Singaporean. Today, the intricate lattice of greenery we have woven into the cityscape supports thriving biodiversity and provides residents with a quality living environment. This not only draws the appreciation and marvel of visitors, but has become a part of our national identity.

  • ANNEX 1 KALLANG RIVERSIDE URA Envisions Kallang Riverside to Be a New Lifestyle Precinct by the Edge of the City 1 As Part Of
    ANNEX 1 KALLANG RIVERSIDE URA envisions Kallang Riverside to be a new lifestyle precinct by the edge of the city 1 As part of the Draft Master Plan 2008, the blueprint for Kallang Riverside was unveiled by the URA. The vision for Kallang Riverside is to transform it into a new lifestyle precinct by the edge of the city, offering distinctive waterfront homes with a mix of offices, hotels, and retail and entertainment facilities set against beautiful beachfronts with breathtaking views of the city skyline. 2 Kallang Riverside is one of the three commercial hubs outside the city centre that will be developed to provide alternatives for businesses and jobs closer to homes. The other two commercial hubs are Jurong Lake District and Paya Lebar Central. 3 Kallang Riverside refers to the areas on both sides of the Kallang River, bounded by Nicoll Highway, Kallang Road and Sims Way. It boasts a wide expanse of beaches and greenery, located at the end of the Greater Marina Bay. It is just 4km away from the city and is in close proximity to key attractions like the Sports Hub, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay. Key proposals 4 Two complementary precincts will be developed, on the west and east sides of Kallang river; capitalising on the beautiful beaches and existing mature greenery. The west side of the river will offer distinctive waterfront homes with a beachfront setting while the east side of the river will have quality office space with a mix of hotel, entertainment and retail uses. 5 The key proposals for Kallang Riverside are: a) Develop a unique, distinctive residential enclave on the west of Kallang River set in a lush park setting with views of the waterfront; b) Create a whole new lifestyle hub in an intimate setting, with a variety of vibrant shops, restaurants, entertainment and lifestyle uses; and c) Provide easy accessibility from Lavender and Kallang MRT stations to attractions like the beachfront and the adjacent Sports Hub, with a network of second-storey and street-level walkways.

These views and perceptions impact our relationship with the natural world. Note Some people see nature as wild and chaotic while others view nature as orderly, acting according to natural “laws”. There are those who perceive nature as an economic resource to be exploited for profit or for human enjoyment, yet there are also many who strongly believe that nature should be left untouched to flourish in its natural state. This issue of BiblioAsia looks at how human activities over the past 200 years have affected and transformed our physical environment, and how we are still living with the consequences today. This special edition accompanies an exciting new exhibition launched by the National Library – “Human x Nature” – at the Gallery on Level 10 of the National Library Building on Victoria Street. Do visit the exhibition, which will run until September this year. Georgina Wong, one of the curators of the show, opens this issue by exploring the relationship between European naturalists and the local community as plants and animals new to the West were uncovered. Not unexpectedly, indigenous input was often played down, dismissed, or exoticised. Farish Noor examines this phenomenon by taking a hard look at Walter Skeat’s book Malay Magic.

    1st to 3rd November 2019 Participants’ Handbook version 3 (updated on 21 Oct 2019) A project by: 1 FOREWORD Let’s Take A Walk (LTAW) is a non-profit, endurance walking event with six categories – 20 km JalanWalk (Saturday), 20 km JalanWalk (Sunday), 50 km PowerWalk (Day), 50 km PowerWalk (Night), 100 km XtremeWalk and 150 km UltimateWalk. The event is organised by volunteers from Raleigh Singapore who share the conviction to pay it forward and help those in need in our society. Started 22 years ago in 1997, LTAW has been challenging participants to push their mental and physical limits, while championing worthy charity causes. This year marks the eleventh edition of LTAW. Our adopted charity for LTAW 2019 is the Rare Disorders Society Singapore (RDSS). RDSS is a non-profit organisation that supports families or individuals who are suffering from very rare form of diseases. These groups of patients form a minority in our society and hence they receive little or no attention. As such, we have chosen this year’s theme to be “Raring to Go the Distance”. Through LTAW 2019, we hope to create the awareness for RDSS and their beneficiaries. On behalf of the organising committee, we thank you for your participation and for supporting LTAW. Every step counts and we are happy to have you on this journey with us. Thank you! Warmest regards, Siti Maziah Binte Masramli Toh Poh Joo LTAW 2019 Co-organising Chairpersons 2 3 OUR BENEFICIARIES RARE DISORDERS SOCIETY SINGAPORE Rare Disorders Society (Singapore) or RDSS is a non-profit organisation initiated by parents of children with LSD (Lysosomal Storage Disorder).
