** SG HISTORIC PIPELINE & HERITAGE TRAIL! ** (PART 2)

NOTE: 10 Aug (Mon) after our National Day is a Public Holiday Continuing from our Part 1 Historic Pipeline Trail, this is PART 2 of our journey exploring the nostalgic & heritage sights & sounds of this historic JOHOR > SIN Pipeline Trail. Join us for this 3-Part hike as we take you on a walk down memory lane tracing the history of this symbolic and significant pipeline from Malaysia to Singapore that has oftentimes been the talk and sometimes 'hot topic' between our two countries. This historic 102-year-old Central Pipeline Reserve running from Gunung Pulai in Johor to the Old Woodlands Causeway ending in Chinatown area was used to convey water all the way to Pearl Hill Reservoir serving our metropolis city centre. To make this hike interesting and come alive, we'll be showing you many historic buildings, pre-war shophouses, old towns, black & white colonial houses and heritage places alongside this pipeline trail. (See Photos below) We'll be tracing this pipeline in 3 parts to enjoy the history, heritage and scenic places from our bustling city centre ie. from South to North all the way to the Woodlands Causeway. Part 1 of this historic pipeline trail (which we have recently done) starts from our colorful Chinatown Heritage Centre to Queenstown where I'll be showing you the food, sights & sounds of this vibrant areas including the beautiful street art & murals along the way depicting the life and times of life in Singapore during those good old days. We'll also be showing you the historic site of the majestic Pearl Hill 'fortress' reservoir unknown to many though, as well as the symbolic place where our well known forefather figure of Mr Tan Tock Seng was laid to rest. For this Part 2 hike from Queenstown to Bt Timah, you will be taken to the Tanglin/ Queenstown Heritage trail, some old heritage trees & buildings, a 1960's mosque, hidden British colonial houses, a breath-taking lookout point to the Southern Islands, hidden bunkers, canals, secret trails, nostalgic places, pipelines etc. where I'll be sharing a little history and heritage here & there based on my knowledge and memory of my childhood having walked these places some 40 - 50 years ago to add color to our hike unlike the original pipeline trail. So if you're ready to find out more about our water history and and the sights & sounds of the beautiful heritage places along this route, you'll need to RSVP now. *This hike will be led by our Organizer with more than 45 years experience walking through these heritage sites and old places.
