Although modern Singapore only been independent for 40-odd years, the country has more than its fair share of heritage places. Its colonial history dating from the days of the Straits Settlements produced many splendid churches and civic buildings while the locals also added to the vernacular architecture. Other places mark important events such as World War 2 and the declaration of independence which are part of Singapore’s history. The writer has specially selected 100-odd locations and buildings that give the country its culture and heritage. Each entry features colour images, facts on its historical relevance as well as tourist information for those who may wish to visit.

Since 1819, more than 6,200 place (street and village) names divided into more than 3,900 name groups were known in Singapore. Based on digitised historical newspapers, dated back to 1830, municipal records and Malay dictionaries, the origins, meanings and date of naming for many place names are uncovered. As part of Singapore history, place names known since 1936 are recorded in this book. Although place names are fairly static in nature, there have been more than 100 name changes. The naming trends transitioned from English to Malay and then back to English names. Discover that Toa Payoh was not named after a big swamp, Anderson Road was named before John Anderson, a former Governor, took up his job and many more new findings in this exciting book. This book is a complete listing of all place names since 1936, together with the most comprehensive annotations to date — a first in Singapore. It is also the only book of its kind that analyses naming trends.
