028 Sang Nila Utama. A surprise commissioned job. Had to pull out a quick character for @zero_rscls 's ship installation last week. The angle of the wall and the uneven planks were quite a challenge. ・・・・・・・・・ #molotowpremium #sangnilautama #boat #ship #sghistory #sea #installationart #sailing #cominghome #diversity #cartoonart #localart #singapore #singaporelegends #sggraffiti #urbanarts #spraypainting #spraydaily #streetart #uwabakiklan #sggraff #singaporeart #founder #srivijaya #palembang #singaporehistory #peoplesassociation #sailor #prince #explorer (at Hougang)

The Jalan Kubor cemetery is about 170 years old. Some of their descendents still live in Singapore. "The Jalan Kubor Cemetery grounds are part of the royal town established in Kampong Gelam, the Kota Raja, which enjoyed water frontage (along what is Beach Road today) and included an encircling palisade and a number of tall gateways. According to a Berita Harian article dated 25 September 1984, Sultan Ali Iskandar Shan (Sultan Hussein’s son) opened the burial grounds to the public on 26 August 1848. The cemetery, with its close proximity to royal territory, made it a popular cemetery of choice for rich Malay merchants during the 1800s to early 1900s." - Roots.Sg . . #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay #SgBicentennial #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden #ThisIsSingapore #treesg #sgnature #sgparks (at Jalan Kayu-Fernvale) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Fbbt8HpUa/?igshid=17tut93biit7h

A quiet rest from the past, part of which will be gone in the near future. "The Jalan Kubor cemetery features tombstones with inscriptions in a diversity of languages and writing systems, reflecting the indigenous peoples of Singapore, including Malay, Javanese script, Buginese Lontara script, Arabic, English, Mandarin and Gujarati." - Wikipedia . .

A green oasis in the midst of town where the past lies. . . "Parts of Jalan Kubor Cemetery used to be a mangrove swamp, and according to 19th century reports, there were 3 distinct burial plots – a Malay cemetery, the Sultan’s burial ground located within the cemetery and a cemetery for Indian muslims. The name “Jalan Kubor” translates directly into “Cemetery Road” and the cemetery is also known by different names including Sultan Kramat, Victoria Street Cemetery, Sultan’s Burial Ground etc." - roots.sg . . #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay#SgBicentennial #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden (at Jalan Kubor Cemetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FNdNLn7BQ/?igshid=158r9xg8vxjxw

"The Jalan Kubor Cemetery is the oldest Muslim cemetery in Singapore. Located off Victoria Street, it contains the graves of many prominent Malays and Muslims from the 19th and 20th centuries. The cemetery is made up of three sections: one plot reserved for Malay royalty, an adjoining site for Muslim burials that came under the care of the Aljunied family, and a third area originally designated for Indian Muslims that later became popular with Bugis and Banjar merchants." - Singapore Infopedia #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay #SgBicentennial #Autumn #autumnvibes #autumnvibes🍁 #Autumnleaves #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden (at Jalan Kubor Cemetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FMtmxHjx6/?igshid=nim2lq4e5dj4

Been going down to the Malay Heritage Centre @malayheritage for the annual Malay CultureFest, held in conjunction with the new exhibition, 'Seekor Singa, Seorang Putera dan Sebingkai Cermin: Reflecting and Refracting Singapura' special exhibition. Spotted this unused patch of greenery near the museum which they turned into a romantic fairyland of fairy lights, swings, and installations. Great way to utilise a patch of green rather than leave it empty. @urasingapore @singaporelandauthority #MHF2019 #malayheritagecentre #museum #sgheritage #sghistory #museumsg #sgmemory #Singapore #projectionmapping #huaweip30pro #ExploringSingapore #ExploreSG #igsg #instasg #VisitSingapore #lightprojection #igerssingapore #lovinsingapore #SingaporeInsiders #wonderlustsingapore #whatissingapore #urbanspaces #ura #slasg #PassionMadePossible #ThisIsSingapore (at Malay Heritage Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ZLAaZnH05/?igshid=ls3hjtlke48n

We're certainly getting more light projections on buildings year-round rather than once or twice a year. When done well, it certainly enhances the buildings and vicinity. Loving this mapping on the facade of the national monument that is also a museum - the @malayheritage It's part of the annual Malay CultureFest, held in conjunction with the new exhibition, 'Seekor Singa, Seorang Putera dan Sebingkai Cermin: Reflecting and Refracting Singapura' special exhibition. Last day today: [MCF2019] Balada Tumasik (Ballad of Tumasik) 11 Oct 2019 - 02 Nov 2019 Malay Heritage Centre 8.00PM Free Watch MHC come alive with an illumination of Singapore's history featuring various folk stories, legends and historical moments! #MHF2019 #malayheritagecentre #museum #sgheritage #sghistory #museumsg #sgmemory #Singapore #projectionmapping #huaweip30pro #ExploringSingapore #ExploreSG #igsg #instasg #VisitSingapore #lightprojection #igerssingapore #lovinsingapore #SingaporeInsiders #wonderlustsingapore #whatissingapore #PassionMadePossible #ThisIsSingapore (at Malay Heritage Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4W53x3nFMg/?igshid=13gonnc8yo35h

It took me a while but I finally managed to get back to the excellent multimedia show at the @nationalgallerysingapore - City Hall: If Walls Could Talk. I still liked it the second time round 😀 Majulah Singapura - the national anthem of Singapore. Composed by Zubir Said in 1958 as a theme song for official functions of the City Council of Singapore, the song was selected in 1959 as the island's anthem when it attained self-government. Upon full independence in 1965, Majulah Singapura was formally adopted as Singapore's national anthem. . . #CityHallStories is a great companion piece to the current @sgbicentennial Bicentennial Experience show. If you like the #SgBicentennial show, you'll like City Hall: If Walls Could Talk. It's an immersive multimedia exhibition that uses interactive content paired with rich storytelling to bring to life the historic events witnessed by the building. Held within the City Hall Chamber, it is organised in conjunction with the Singapore Bicentennial commemoration. It's 25 minutes long, with 4 stations for you to read more about its history, heritage and people, social media selfies stations of course, check out related artworks and there's the show. It was awesome. Giant screens that surrounds the City Hall Chamber with blown up historical photos and an interesting narrative, it was pretty amazing. I thought instantly it was a worthy follow up to the Fort Canning Bicentennial show. #NationalGallerySingapore! #Singapore #sghistory #cityhallsingapore #NationalGallerySg #ExploringSingapore #ExploreSG #igsg #igsingapore #Sgig #sgmemory #sgheritage  #wonderlustsingapore #whatissingapore #PassionMadePossible #ThisIsSingapore #SingaporeInsiders  #VisitSingapore (at National Gallery Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LwJJYnLP7/?igshid=14z5uklx5i11o
