My Clementi Heritage Tour [English] (24 Nov 2024)

From aquarium avenue to fantastic feasts - join us on a fascinating trek around Clementi, tracing the development of the New Town from the businesses that make up the town centre to the clusters of communities around the neighbourhood. The tour also explores sites that tell a story of industrial and military pasts, including the former Mowbray Camp and the defunct Jurong KTM Railway Line.
