Jong, The Unmanned Mini Sailboat

Jong, The Unmanned Mini Sailboat

By The Norther - Mr. Fawzi Nasir & Mr Adam Salleh

In this Jong Workshop, visitors will be introduced to the history, cultural significance, design, and craftsmanship behind the Jong. The session will also feature personal stories from Cik Fawzi and Mr. Adam Salleh, a former resident of nearby St. John’s Island.

Together, their memories offer rare insight into the daily rhythms, childhood games, and seafaring traditions that once shaped life on Singapore’s southern islands. Join us in discovering the art of the Jong building—where skill, history, and heritage come alive through the voices of those who lived it.
