Tiong Bahru - Story and Such

Tiong Bahru- All Rights Reserved


Tiong Bahru is kind of pre-historic status , it is not a full New Town and it is Not the First New Town. That should goes to Queenstown as a full-fledge modern New Town Housing Estate.

Tiong Bahru is more like some cluster of modern New Village built on Concrete. As oppose to Old Village Attap Zinc house. Attap is kind of Trop Tree Branch which looks like coconut tree leaf, suitable for Kampong House Roof Top. Guess has some water resistance purpose. But later "upgrade" to metal Zinc Plate.

There is actually Real People living in his Real Town of Tiong Bahru . On of my friend actually grow up in Tiong Bahru during Childhood. Guess sometime in the future this place may turn into some sort museum. ( Yes Singapore is getting some museum and history bugs)

But for the Time Being it just that many commercial shop owner choose this town as the HQ to their Niche Product and Service

NB - Trying to add some "story " to the Photography. May or may not related to the Picture.
