[4K 60P] Walking Tour @ Singapore Chong Pang

Chong Pang was the name of a former village which was located in the north of Singapore, near the site of the present day Sembawang MRT station.[1]
Prior to 1956, Chong Pang Village was originally known as Westhill Village (or Westhill estate). Part of Nee Soon Estate, the village was situated at the twelfth milestone at Seletar, opposite the Sembawang Aerodrome. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, the village had the highest concentration of Indians in Singapore, many of whom were employees of the British Naval Base just outside the village. The land was owned by Lim Chong Pang (Chinese: 林忠邦; pinyin: Lín Zhōng Bāng), son of Lim Nee Soon, who drew up small plots of land and leased them at a cheap rate of 50 cents per month. It was settled by rubber tappers (who otherwise had to cycle a long way) and vegetable farm workers. Although the rents were cheap, the number of families did not exceed 100 during the 1930s and 1940s.[2] About 60 percent of the population were Indians. The rest were Chinese planters, rubber tappers and hawkers, along with a handful of Malay fishermen.
In 1956 it was renamed as Chong Pang village in honour of Lim Chong Pang for his public service to Singapore.[3] During the late 1960s, there were more than 100 families residing village. Many of these consisted of Indian bachelor employees from the nearby Singapore Naval Base in Sembawang, who returned with their brides from India. The 1971 British withdrawal from Singapore and the subsequent retrenchment led to many residents being left jobless. The Indians were particularly affected and most of them returned to India leading to a dwindling Indian community. Since then, the village had a predominantly Chinese population with small communities of Indians and Malays.

Chong Pang City is the Chinatown of the North but with Malay & Indian influences. Thus, it is sometimes called a Multiracial Chinatown.

I thought there is no more wet market in Singapore... guess I am wrong

[@TheWalkingLens88]

There are. In every neighbourhood. Thanks for visiting 😁

[@charleslucern6496]

Nice video. Thank you. It would be better if you sometimes show us what stores and stalls were selling and serving, instead of just walking straight. But thank you for the video.👍

[@charleslucern6496]

Nice video. But please don’t just walk straight, show us what stores are selling with a slower walk. Your video would attract more viewers that way. Thank you for the interesting tour.
