If You Still Consider Yourself New to Singapore, You Should...
Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Tai Gin Road
I don’t know who-the-who Sun Yat Sen is exactly, but the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial
Hall is one of the few halls in Singapore I’ll remember. Found out about
this initially because of Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but didn’t have a
chance to visit ‘cos they’re quite far off from the other must-go places. Apparently,
Sun Yat Sen is well-known in Chinese
countries, because he is the "Father
of the Nation".
WOW. Father of THE Nation. Ruler of the WORLD. Added the last part, only the first is true.
He is a Chinese revolutionary, first president and
founding father of the Republic of China! #moderndynasty
And apparently again, Sun Yat Sen is also known in
Singapore.
So, I guess it’s about time to take a look? Yes.
It’s all about Chinese
Revolution on Singapore and Singapore's contributions to the Rev –the
place, which features new storylines and new galleries, shows some histo-stuff
on how the Singapore leaders helped build the nation. It shows how much this
impacted the Singapore Chinese community as how it is today.
Now if
you still consider yourself new to Singapore, just like me, and you want to know a bit more in depth of Singapore’s Chinese community, so that
you can contribute something when your Chinese cab drivers talk about history?
Well… yes, there is China Town; yes, there are the
hawker centers.
But this one is for those of you who would rather
go to the almost off-beaten path to Singapore’s Chinese history, and maybe even
chance upon meeting locals and their families who would frequent this place.
Xie xie
