*(With Tour License/ Permit Approval from STB 02896)* Come, enjoy a scenic lovely morning walk/tour with us at the beautiful **Kallang River, Kampong Bugis, Kampong Glam** to the **Old Sungei Road** ending at the Berseh Food Centre. This is a **FREE TOUR** (Usual $120) specially for our travellers & new members who have just joined us to discover unique Street Art, Food & Heritage places in SG. Be amazed by the **beautiful murals, unique architecture, splash of colors, creative sculptures and eclectic designs** on display at some of these unseen back-lanes and 5 foot way that you never knew existed right here in our little 'Red Dot'! This picturesque walk (specially tailored for you) takes you on a special heritage trail through time to explore and uncover the history, beauty and significance of these forgotten places that has shaped Singapore's present and modern state. From colorful temples, beautiful mosque to a majestic church; take a walk down memory lane at Sungei Road (then and now) and be spooked too as we show you a place where body parts of a murder were found. Indeed there's so much interesting and significant events that took place in these old 'kampongs' from the 1800s till now. For example - did you know that there was a former Istana located here? Where is it now? Who were its occupants? And did you know that the narrowest street in Singapore is located here? To share a little history about these 'kampongs'. In 1822 the Raffles Town Plan (named after Sir Stamford Raffles) allocated designated areas to the various racial groups such as the Chinese and the Indians. The area around Kampong Glam however was allocated to the Malays, as well as the Muslim immigrants and traders from the Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Celebes Islands, Riau, India and Southern Arabia based on their prominence, social and economic status. But it was the successful and influential Arab traders who left their indelible mark here in these areas where streets were named after names of Arabian cities such as Arab Street, Bussorah Street, Muscat Street and Baghdad Street in the early 1910s. On Arab Street today, you'll still find Muslim traders working side by side with Chinese and Indian traders. However, despite the influx of modern businesses by other ethnic groups, Kampong Glam is still very much a centre for Muslim activities. This is a photography cum heritage walk best suited for those who love colors, street-art murals, architecture, sculptures, paintings, instagram photos, the history of Singapore and of course ... FOOD! So if you're ready to see the unusual part of Singapore you never knew, join us for this rich colorful heritage stroll down memory lane. Well ... chances are it may just bring you some pleasant memories of those beautiful good old days! *** Ideal Group size: **30 TLC members** (PRIORITY given to members who are joining us for our upcoming trips while slots are available).

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
