Seng Fountain
Have you seen the Tan Kim Seng Fountain at the Esplanade Park
area? Just like the Esplanade Theater, this one is just something. There’s
something about it that’s very elite and riveting. It’s sits at a
focal area of the park, where it keeps calm and going, very preppy and
classic. Probably because of the overall design, color, and construction,
it looks like the ones you see in famous castles and places across Europe. The
granites, marbles, and old school effect really are a sight to behold. The way
it comes to life with the water and birds coming to play – just amazing. You’ll
surely fall in admiration.
But, it’s not all design and splendor. It was actually built
to commemorate Tan Kim Seng's contribution towards Singapore's first public
waterworks. History here: Tan Kim Seng was a very illustrious public benefactor
in Singapore in the nineteenth century. And for Tan Kim to earn a fountain in
one of the most important areas known to Singapore is remarkable. Makes me want
to contribute and commemorate? Yes! Or maybe, just want to sit and continue my
undying admiration for this magnificent fountain, because it’s that immense of
a masterpiece.
