Hope to revisit again for an update of the place. This little gem of Jurong has trees planted by many politicians including Queen Elizabeth back in 1972. Way back then Singapore proudly showed off our purposefully built area in Jurong of factories. After climbing the tower, you’ll be able to saee the nearby Jurong Island where ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BASF, etc. and some of the close to 100 companies that have set up manufacturing facilities on the island.

Before Christopher Columbus, there was (maybe) the first eunch whose both Muslim and an eunuch, Zheng He. Debates continue on Zheng He reaching reaching the Americas 70 years before Columbus.

The above, a replica, created in 2005 of Long Ya Men is part of the 600th Anniversary Celebration of Zheng He.

The Long Ya Men served as navigational aids to ancient mariners sailing through the swift waters of the narrow channel between them. The rocks were documented in a navigational map belonging to Ming dynasty’s Admiral Zheng He (郑和), and also in Wang Dayuan’s historical maritime annal, Wu Bei Zhi (武备志).

The Berlin Wall had practically separated a city and a country into two. It has also stood for the division of Europe and the world into a free and an unfree part. Twenty years ago, the Wall fell completely peacefully, without a shot, without bloodshed. It was like a miracle. The peaceful protests of the people in the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR) had developed slowly but steadily over months and could not finally be held back. The obstinate GDR regime that has refused basic reforms right to the end, had failed due to the will of the people to be free.

Not even a year had passed between the fall of the Wall and reunification when on 3 October 1990, we achieved German unity in peace and freedom and with the consent of our partners and allies in the world.

– Dr Helmut Kohl, Federal Chancellor (retired)

Singapore’s only natural history museum, the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has received its largest gift from the Lee Foundation. This gift and others enables the RMBR to embark on building a new purpose-designed building for its invaluable collection of animals and plants specimens. To be renamed the ‘Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum’, the new building will showcase Southeast Asian biodiversity and environmental issues in its exhibition hall.

Has these walls remain where they were, today will be 50 years + 1 day since it has been erected. 50 years ago, Berlin woke up to a divided City.

Berlin – The German city of Berlin fell silent for one minute yesterday as it marked the 50th anniversary of the day the Berlin Wall started to go up.

A memorial service remembered those who died trying to flee to the West. At noon, Berlin’s entire public transport system stopped to honour the victims.
