  • 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.
