  • 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.

  • Must Visit Attractions in Singapore"
    "Must Visit Attractions in Singapore" Created by: Cityseeker 16 Locations Bookmarked Merlion Park "Singapore's National Emblem" Standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River is the Merlion, a mythical beast that is a cross between a fish and a lion. The fish symbolizes Singapore's close association with the sea while the lion head refers to the legendary sighting of a lion during the discovery of ancient Singapore. Created in 1972 as a tourism icon, the Merlion is especially by Graham-H attractive in the evenings when it is illuminated and spouts water from its mouth. Today, it has moved 120 meters (393 feet) away from its original spot, adjacent to One Fullerton. A stroll through Merlion Park yields great views of Singapore's colonial district. +65 6736 6622 1 Fullerton Road, Singapore Marina Bay Sands Skypark "Experience Singapore from New Heights" A true marvel of engineering designed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, the Marina Bay Sands Skypark is an open-air viewing deck perched 200 meters (656.168 feet) atop the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. This deck, shaped like a ship, almost seems to go against the law of gravity as it stretches on the 57th story above the hotel tower. The panoramic views by Sarah_Ackerman from of Singapore are staggering, and on a clear day, far-off islands belonging New York, USA. to Malaysia and Indonesia can be seen. The Skypark is the size of three football fields and also contains lush tropical gardens, souvenir stands and gourmet restaurants. Its main attraction is a spectacular infinity pool that seems as if it meets thin air at one of its longer edges.
