Sembawang
Sembawang is the northernmost point of Singapore and is actually the nearest point to Malaysia. It has a rich history and colonial architecture still remain there today. Although it has a suburban residential area, there are military, industrial and recreational facilities there. It once hosted a major British naval base (sine 1938) and still has port facilities handling regular shipping traffic there today. It was previously where all our vehicles came through from car carriers. It was once the site of Nee Soon rubber estate. In 1968, the naval base was handed over to the Singapore Government who converted it into a commercial dockyard as Sembawang Shipyard. There was a time where nobody wanted to live there when allocation for HDB flats were given but today it is bustling with activities - as good as if not better than many elsewhere since all highways were connected. There are many interesting things to discover at Sembawang and the peripheral area...
