Visiting Our Singapore National Museum

 

On 16 Feb 09 our group (Howe, Lye, Leong, Choy Chim, Kiat Pin, Hoi Ying and Chee Kiang) visited our Museum for the first time after many years. For me it was more than 50 years at least. It was a pure Nostalgia.

We actually chose the right day………it was Seniors’ Day …….so it was FOC……

Gone were the stuffed tiger, whale skeleton, and most artefacts. In it’s place was the history of Singapore from the time of Raffles to present times. There were stories of past Luminaries like Aljunied, Eunos, Tan Tock Seng to name few and of course our MM and David Marshall too.

Each person was given a recorder with earphones which acted like our personal guide giving us the low down on which section we fancy to know. It was indeed very interesting and informative.

Our visit ended with a coffee and sandwich treat from our sir Howe.I can recommend this activity to those who wish to know more about past Singapore history.
