    Bukit Pasoh Telok Ayer Kreta Ayer CHINATOWN A Walking Guide Travel through 14 amazing stops to experience the best of Chinatown in 6 hours. A quick introduction to the neighbourhoods Kreta Ayer Kreta Ayer means “water cart” in Malay. It refers to ox-drawn carts that brought water to the district in the 19th and 20th centuries. The water was drawn from wells at Ann Siang Hill. Back in those days, this area was known for its clusters of teahouses and opera theatres, and the infamous brothels, gambling houses and opium dens that lined the streets. Much of its sordid history has been cleaned up. However, remnants of its vibrant past are still present – especially during festive periods like the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn celebrations. Telok Ayer Meaning “bay water” in Malay, Telok Ayer was at the shoreline where early immigrants disembarked from their long voyages. Designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822, this is the oldest neighbourhood in Chinatown. Covering Ann Siang and Club Street, this richly diverse area is packed with trendy bars and hipster cafés housed in beautifully conserved shophouses. Bukit Pasoh Located on a hill, Bukit Pasoh is lined with award-winning restaurants, boutique hotels, and conserved art deco shophouses. Once upon a time, earthen pots were produced here. Hence, its name – pasoh, which means pot in Malay. The most vibrant street in this area is Keong Saik Road – a former red-light district where gangs and vice once thrived. Today, it’s a hip enclave for stylish hotels, cool bars and great food.

  • Government Agencies to Conduct Trials on Digital Payment of Parking Charges
    PRESS RELEASE Government Agencies to Conduct Trials on digital payment of parking charges In line with our vision to become a Smart Nation, the Government is developing a digital parking mobile application to allow motorists to pay parking charges through their mobile devices. 2 The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing & Development Board (HDB), in partnership with the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), are developing a mobile application for motorists to use at public car parks that currently use paper coupons. 3 The mobile app will provide more convenience for motorists as they need not return to their vehicles to add more coupons to extend their parking session. The benefits of the app include: ● Paying for parking digitally: Motorists can use the app to key in their vehicle number, select the car park, indicate their parking duration and start parking. ● Calculating parking charges automatically: The app automatically calculates the charges that motorists have to pay based on their parking duration on a per minute basis. A refund will be given if motorists choose to end their parking session earlier. ● Extending parking session remotely: The app allows motorists to track the validity of their parking session. They can extend the duration of their parking session at their own time and convenience. 4 A trial will be conducted among public sector officers from May to June 2017 to test the functionalities of the app at selected public car parks in the city area. During this period, we will test the app, especially the payment module, to be confident of its robustness before we extend the trial to the general public.

Since the closure of the Penang Hill Railway in late Febru- ary the mainstream media have published a stream of le ers om people in Malaysia and abroad making it clear that scrapping the historic railway will destroy a unique a raction that has drawn tourists not only o m Malaysia and the region but om all over the world. One foreign tourist sug- gested that destroying the historic The Star 22 February 2010 funicular would be like San Francisco abolishing its famous trams. As a measure of the value of the Penang Hill Railway there has even been an indication of interest in acquiring some of the specialized equipment and machinery for use in restoring an historic funicular railway in Europe. i s would be akin to ge ing rid of the family silver because we are buying new stainless steel cutlery. In anticipation of the closure of the railway, the Penang Heritage Trust decided on a farewell trip on the his- toric funicular for its monthly site visit in February. e result was a record turn-out of almost ninety PHT members and iends for a nostalgic and unforge able a ernoon in February that included an informative and magical visit to the winding-engine house at Upper Station.
