Blocks 2 & 3 Changi Village Road are nestled in the heart of idillic old Changi Village which was built in the 1920s when the British military bases were operating in the area. When the British left in the 19703, the Housing & Development Board redeveloped the current Changi Village estate and built a market and a hawker centre which soon became a favourite lunchtime destination for military personnel, airport staff and workers from the nearby Loyang Industrial Estate.

Singapore Map 1954: Showing Tanjong Rhu, former Kallang Airport, former Happy World Park and Geylang A glimpse of old Singapore in 1954. Particularly significant is that Tanjong Rhu / Marina South has not been reclaimed then. In addition, Nicol Highway was non-existent in 1954.

Thus if one looks at this "black mascular person with such a stance and figurine" One would never have imagined that it is for the purpose of Feng Shui...

Durian Talk A fully grown durian tree located along Yuk Tong Avenue / Jalan Jurong Kechil area Have you ever encountered a durian tree? If someone merely strolls by, they would likely not recognize it as a durian tree. This tree resembles any other roadside or angsana trees. Were you able to spot the durians? They are quite small in comparison, unlike the large Thai durians. Another site where durian trees may be located is at Gerald Drive, which is off Yio Chu Kang Road.

Formerly a sugar cane plantation, this district was also where key moments of th…
