  • Press Release Official Opening of the Istana Heritage Gallery President
    Press Release Official Opening of the Istana Heritage Gallery President Tony Tan Keng Yam officially opened the Istana Heritage Gallery on Friday, 7 October 2016. Located at the Istana Park along Orchard Road and opposite the Istana, the Istana Heritage Gallery offers visitors the opportunity to understand the history and heritage of the Istana. 2 Gazetted in 1992 as a National Monument along with Sri Temasek (formerly the Colonial Secretary’s house), the Istana mirrors the growth and development of Singapore from a colony to sovereign state. The Gallery explores the role and significance of the Istana, and captures the Istana’s transition from being the Colonial Governor’s House to its current role as the official Residence of the President. It also seeks to provide visitors with a glimpse into the Istana’s rich history through a specially curated range of heritage displays including state artefacts, artwork and state gifts received from foreign dignitaries by our past and present Presidents and Prime Ministers. 3 The state gifts are a highlight of the Gallery as this is the first time they are placed on permanent display for visitors to enjoy. They are lasting testimonies of Singapore’s friendship with other countries. The current display of 18 state gifts includes: A silver cigarette box, which is one of the earliest recorded gifts in the Istana’s collection. This was presented by His Excellency Raja Tun Uda Al-Haj bin Raja Muhammad, Governor of Penang, to Yang di-Pertuan Negara Encik Yusof bin Ishak in 1961; A bronze bust of an Induna, presented to President Ong Teng Cheong by His Excellency Nelson Mandela, President of the Republic of the South Africa, during his first state visit to Singapore in 1997; A pair of silver goblets which bears Singapore’s Coat of Arms and the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II – symbolising the longstanding friendship between these two countries.

  • Embargoed Till 4.30Pm, 13 February 2020
    MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed till 4.30pm, 13 February 2020 Plans for a green connection from Orchard to Singapore River unveiled - Month-long public exhibition at The URA Centre to showcase plans - Proposed enhancements to Istana Park - Enhanced accessibility to Fort Canning Centre - Better connectivity to Singapore River from Fort Canning Park Singapore, 13 February 2020 – The National Parks Board (NParks) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) today unveiled plans to enhance our green spaces in the city. As part of ongoing plans to enhance Orchard Road as a lifestyle destination and to ‘Bring Back the Orchard’, Singapore’s signature street is envisioned to be transformed into a lush green corridor by introducing new green spaces and lush planting. It will form part of a 6km-long green connection linking key historic green and blue spaces in our city centre – Singapore Botanic Gardens, Istana, Fort Canning Park and Singapore River. These proposed plans follow the public exhibition and consultation exercise in 2019 on the plans for Orchard Road. More than 1,500 members of the public had shared their feedback with many suggestions calling for more green spaces and family-friendly facilities along Orchard Road. The current 1.3ha Istana Park will be redesigned to combine with the existing Dhoby Ghaut Green and Penang Road Open Space to create a larger green space complete with a new nature playgarden on Orchard Road. There will be new connections from Istana Park to Fort Canning Park via an upcoming linkway at 9 Penang Road (former Park Mall) and proposed sheltered escalators leading from the pedestrian underpass at Canning Rise to Fort Canning Centre at the hilltop.
