In search of a lost countryside | Peatix tag:peatix.com,2011:1 2022-09-08T12:32:24+08:00 Peatix Jerome Lim In search of a lost countryside tag:peatix.com,2022:event-3318986 2022-08-09T09:30:00SGT 2022-08-09T09:30:00SGT The Seletar River, once a domain of the Orang Seletar, brought Teochew settlers inland to an area that would be closely associated with Bukit Sembawang and also Lim Nee Soon. Much has changed since the days when gambier, pepper and then pineapple and rubber were planted. It is an area where further change is underway. Let us take a walk around it to discover what’s left of the old world and what the new world has and is bringing to it.   The walk will begin at Springleaf MRT Station and depending on the weather conditions, we may take a 5.5 km walk or do part of the the journey by bus (so do bring your EZY-link cards etc), and end in the Chong Pang City area where there are buses to both Yishun and Springleaf MRT Stations.      Updates tag:peatix.com,2022-08-04 02:07:10 2022-08-04 02:07:10 The event description was updated.
