My Telok Blangah Heritage Tour [English] (16 October 2022)

Do you know about the Temenggongs' roles in the development of the ports and roads in Singapore? 

My Telok Blangah heritage tour traces the 700-year history of Singapore as a prosperous port city at the southern tip of Peninsula Malaysia, from a trading emporium founded by the legendary Sang Nila Utama in 1299, to a pirate-infested free port established by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 and a modern metropolis in the 21st century.

The tour features an array of national monuments and historical sites including Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim, Radin Mas Ayu and Keramat Bukit Kasita
