Today, we have the luxury of looking back at how far Singapore has come. But if you were in the 1970s: what would you have done not knowing what lies ahead?
The MAJULAH! walking tours charts Singapore's progress through its architecture in the Bugis - Golden Mile stretch. It is a tribute to our city's hardworking people - from the planners to the builders. Held in April 2015 in remembrance of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, a great man who always moved onward.
