  • INTRODUCTION the Story of Singapore and Her People Has Always Been One of Resilience Amid Change
    Sungei Rd 1 INTRODUCTION The story of Singapore and her people has always been one of resilience amid change. From the early pioneers who came to make a living, to later generations who overcame the war and struggled to build a modern, sovereign nation, Singapore’s success over the past 50 years owes much to the indomitable spirit, fortitude and resourcefulness of her people. National Day Parade, 2015 This national resilience continues to be a hallmark of independent Singapore. It has allowed the nation to weather periods of crisis, defend and strengthen herself on all fronts, and for her people to work together to transform the island into a global hub for commerce and culture. Today, this same Singapore spirit is driving a new phase of development as the nation strives to create a liveable and sustainable city; a home like no other with ample room to grow and opportunities for different communities to flourish and build a better future together. This collective resilience, which defines Singapore’s journey from 14th century trading hub, to colonial port to independent nation and global city, is the theme of the Jubilee Walk. Created in 2015 to mark Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, the Jubilee Walk is a specially curated trail of iconic locations that recall Singapore’s historic beginnings, her path towards nationhood, and show the way forward to Singapore’s present and future as a global city. 2 In this 1570 map by Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius, the Malay Peninsula appears as an elongated extension of mainland Southeast Asia, and Singapore as an appendix, marked “Cincapura” 3 4 The Jubilee Walk celebrates how far we have arrived after 50 years of independence and looks back in time to situate the island’s current progress within a maritime legacy spanning over 700 years.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

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.

    INTERVIEWS 54 A Walk through the Years in Singapore's Parks: Interview with Kong Yit San A Walk through the Years in Singapore’s Parks Interview with Kong Yit San Text by Ho Rui An Photography by Jeremy San RIGHT & opposite Tampines Eco Green. CITYGREEN #3 A Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology Publication 55 CG: What were some of the challenges you experienced in the early days? KYS: In the 80s, we were so concerned about efficiency than design. What was important then was how well and how fast you can grow the plant and how cheap it was to grow and maintain. For streetscape planting, we had used fast-growing, easy-to-grow trees that required the least mainte- nance. But today, we know that we cannot just grow trees in such a regimental way and hope that they will all grow at the same pace and assume the same form. Nature doesn’t work that way. Back then, we had a lack of experience and knowl- edge in the materials we were using. We were introducing trees from forest environment, such as those in Malaysia, but we didn’t know too well how a tree introduced from a forest would grow in an urban environment. As a result, we experienced some problems like cracked pavements, uplifted drains and damages done to our infrastructure caused by these trees with highly aggressive root systems. Mr Kong Yit San has been with the National Park Boards (NParks) for more than 30 years, beginning At that time, being a young Garden City, we from the days when Singapore was still an aspiring “Garden City.” He was previously the Director of wanted to try out different kinds of plant the Parks Division before assuming his current position as Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Park species.
