Sir Stamford Raffles

Sir Stamford Raffles is described as the “Father of Singapore”. He founded Singapore in 1819.  This British Statesman was highly noted for his knowledge of the Malay language and his interest in botany and history.

The Singapore River

The Singapore River is the most famous river in this island city state.  It is the place where Raffles made the first trading port in Singapore. The Singapore River is where the colourful and romantic history of the river and the myths and legends can still conjure up memories of the sampans, bumboats and tongkangs with their painted eyes to see the danger ahead.

Lau Pa Sat 

Lau Pa Sat was formerly known as Telok Ayer Market which colloquially  means old market. The Malay name Telok Ayer means “water bay” as the coastal road Telok Ayer Street lies alongside the bay. Because of its Victorian iron structure, the market is referred to in Malay as pasar besi (iron market).
