Woodlands Town Centre was built to serve not just this town, but also Malaysians from neighbouring Johor Bahru. Forty years on, the Town Centre is no longer the centre of Woodlands but at its periphery, an estate making way for the Woodlands Checkpoint extension later this year. Join urban historians Jinhua and Eisen on a walk down memory lane - tracing the origins of “Marsiling”, appreciating the unique architecture of the town centre's buildings, and finding out just what makes it a “frontier town”. Join them before it's too late! #janeswalkOWTC Note: Additional sessions may be added depending on demand.THIS WALK CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE 20 PEOPLE.
