This is a very rare tour where all of us will be walking on what was once upon a time, the sea. It is surreal, but yes, this walk is 90% done on what was once water. But this tour will end on real solid ground.

Along the way, we’ll see, “touch and feel” the “history” of Singapore History. With this tour, your ole Uncle Chris will take you through the years from the mid/early 1800s to 2023.

The beautiful sight-seeing is but a bonus. There’s plenty of highlights along the way. We’ll start the tour at Scandal Point, which doesn’t exist now. It was demolished and its “contents” was used as landfills for the surrounding areas where we’ll be walking.

Scandal Point was once upon a time a hill, or knoll – which may be a better word. We’ll reimagine the site of the former Satay Club when life was simpler. From here, we’ll deviate into our real Singapore City where life began back on the 6th February 1819 – which (frankly) isn’t exactly quite true – the indigenous Orang Lauts and Malays were already here way before the British arrived.

But yes, it is true that Sir Stamford Raffles and William Farquhar did put Singapore on the world map. This is a tour to celebrate our National Day (and especially William Farquhar – the Unsung Hero of Singapore). We meet at 9am on 9th August, Esplanade MRT station. This tour will end at Telok Ayer Street, exactly where many of our forefathers landed eons ago…many penniless….
