Heritage Fest 2005 - “Pasir Panjang Heritage Trail”
16 (Sat), 17 (Sun) & 24 (Sun) July 2005
Register now for places
This is an annual event conducted during Heritage Fest by the Raffles Museum
of Biodiversity Research, NUS in collaboration with Reflections at Bukit
Chandu, NHB. Join us on a discovery of the ecosystem of Kent Ridge and the
Battle of Pasir Panjang.
Get to know the distinctive plants of the Adinandra belukar including native
plants like adinandra, tembusu, tiup-tiup and senduduk, and their practical
uses. Enjoy the canopy boardwalk and hope to be surprised by flying dragons,
crested green lizards, squirrels and sea eagles. View the south-western
islands and see markers of the changing Pasir Panjang shoreline brought
alive with the memories of former residents.
Along the route, visitors will note the significant points of the Battle of
Pasir Panjang during which a small force of the Malay Regiment valiantly
defended the ridge against the invading Japanese Imperial Army. The
Reflections at Bukit Chandu museum provides more pieces to the battle and
lets us reflect on Singapore's heritage of heroism.
