During the early colonial period, Woodlands was an agricultural area with plantation estates. It then became a major transport link between Singapore and Johor, and in the 1970s, the area was developed as a public housing and industrial estate. Woodlands is known for the Causeway bridge to Johor Bahru. Woodlands Road, a section of road leading from Bukit Panjang to the Causeway, was renamed from Bukit Timah Road in 1929 by the Rural Board. | [Woodlands] -- History -- Woodlands New Town -- References -- Further Resources | Suburbs--Singapore|Street names--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore--Woodlands|Woodlands (Singapore) | Streets and Places {18336099}|Urban planning {18336138} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

After Singapore became an independent nation, some of the country's first military units were based here. The camp was closed in 2000, and its three buildings (blocks 1, 9 and 14) were gazetted for conservation in 2002. | [Beach Road] -- Description -- History -- Conservation -- Recent Uses -- Variant names -- Author -- References -- Further resources. | Street names--Singapore|Historic sites--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore|Beach Road (Singapore) | Streets and Places {18336099}|Urban planning {18336138}|Historic buildings {18336510} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the national land-use planning agency, divided Singapore into 55 planning areas and drew up a DGP for each of these areas. A blueprint of the living, working and leisure environment in Singapore, the 55 DGPs together formed the overall Master Plan 1998, which was gazetted on 22 January 1999. The URA released the first of its 55 DGPs in 1993. The final DGP was released in 1998. | [Development guide plans] -- History -- Description -- Objectives -- Process -- References. | Land use--Planning--Singapore|Urban renewal--Singapore|City planning--Singapore | Politics and Government {18336134}|Urban planning {18336138} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

The possibility of the Middle East emerging as a new economic giant in this new century has given rise to romantic notions of a “New Silk Road” that would link Asia and the Middle East in a revival of the old trans-regional arc of mutual prosperity. While China’s capital Chang’an had served as the point of departure for travellers using the Silk Road, today, Singapore could perhaps be the modern-day Chang’an and build the bridge between Asia and the Middle East as both Arabs and Asians rediscover each other. Several charts and tables are included. | Singapore and the Middle East : increasing mutual cooperation -- New markets and businesses -- What makes Singapore the ideal partner? -- The new Silk Road --Endnotes -- References. | Silk Road|Singapore--Commerce--Middle East | Singapore offshore islands {18486578}|Trade and industry {18486530} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172}|NLB Collections>>Index to Singapore Information {16145204} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

Telok Ayer was designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822 and gained prominence in the 1820s because it served as the landing site for early immigrants. This led to a concentration of religious buildings and Chinese clan associations along the street. The street thus gives a useful insight into the life of early Chinese immigrants. | [Telok Ayer Street] -- History -- Description -- Variant names -- References. | Street names--Singapore|Immigrants--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore | Urban planning {18336138}|Streets and Places {18336099}|Customs {18336131} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

A 1946 survey of the Singapore Strait described the island as measuring about 55 ft high to the top of the trees, lying at the eastern end of an extensive reef that dries from one to five feet. In 2013, the island measured 208.5 ha. Since the 1980s, the island has been designated as a live-firing area by the Singapore Armed Forces. | [Pulau Sudong] -- Background -- Islanders -- Island sports -- Resort development plans -- Live firing area -- Coral reefs -- References. | Islands--Singapore|Military training camps--Singapore | Singapore offshore islands {18486578} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

Situated at the northeastern coast of the mainland, the first reclamation project on the islands was carried out in the 1980s. Reclamation work is still ongoing and, upon completion, Pulau Tekong Kechil would be totally merged with the larger island. Pulau Tekong has been home to the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Basic Military Training Centre since 1999. In early 2002, the Pulau Tekong reclamation project was disputed by Malaysia, which brought the case to the International Tribunal Court. | [Pulau Tekong land reclamation] -- History -- Description -- Objections from Malaysia -- References. | Reclamation of land--Singapore|Tekong Island (Singapore) | Singapore offshore islands {18486578} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

As a community, Indians have played an important role in the historical, economic, cultural and political development of Singapore. The arrival of Indians to Singapore reflects the long, historic association the Southeast Asian region has had with India. Before the 19th century, contact between India and Southeast Asia was characterised by a movement of goods and ideas. The nature of this contact somewhat changed with the British occupation of Malaya. Instead of merchants, traders and adventurers, more migrant labourers arrived at the region. The Indian community in Singapore has come a long way from its days of being migrants. Though a minority, the Indian community is a vibrant and diverse group that has made significant contributions to the overall development of Singapore, and continues to do so. | Introduction -- Early contacts between India and Southeast Asia -- Indian migration during British period -- Indenture labour system -- Kangany system -- Profile of migrants from 1899s in Malaya -- Arrival of Indians to Singapore -- Settlement patterns of Indians in Singapore -- Builders of early Singapore : Indians' contribution to infrastructure and economy -- Population growth of Indians in Singapore -- Trends in occupational diversity -- Ethnolinguistic and religious diversity -- Conclusion -- References. | Emigration and immigration|East Indians--Singapore|East Indians--Malaysia | Heritage and Culture {18336130}|Diaspora {18486566}|Malay archipelago {18486577} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172}|NLB Collections>>Index to Singapore Information {16145204} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

Residential and recreational amenities were built in Jurong over the next two decades to attract people to live and work there and to facilitate the expansion of the estate. Jurong has since transformed into a self-sufficient town consisting of five administrative zones. In response to the town’s gentrification in recent years, a five-year masterplan to further develop it was announced in 2006. Landmarks in Jurong include Jurong Port, Jurong Industrial Estate, Jurong Town Hall, Science Centre Singapore and Jurong Bird Park. | [Jurong] -- History -- Description -- Jurong Port -- Jurong Town Corporation -- Variant names -- References. | Street names--Singapore|Suburbs--Singapore--Jurong|Industrial districts--Singapore|Jurong (Singapore) | Streets and Places {18336099}|Urban planning {18336138}|Trade and industry {18486530}|Places of interest {18455236} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

Those who undertook these journeys were mainly Chinese Buddhist monks, looking to return with copies of the Buddhist Tripitaka1. Through the travel accounts of three monks, Faxian, Xuanang and Yijing one is given a broad spectrum of perspectives on the different aspects of Buddhism, from its evolution to its decline in India. They also gave invaluable insights into the states and kingdoms of those times, and the difficult terrains, shipwrecks, thirst and hunger they had to endure to complete their mission. | Faxian (c. 337-422 A.D.) -- Xuanzang (c. 602-64 A.D.) --Yi Jing (c. 635-713 A.D.) -- Contributions -- Endnotes -- References. | Voyages and travels|Faxian, ca. 337-ca. 422|Xuanzang, ca. 596-664|Yijing, 635-713 | Geographical areas and countries {18486575}|Places of interest {18455236} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia|NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

He also argues that land routes which were known to the locals as ‘salt roads’ complemented the rivers in the creation of the lowland and upland exchange network. Together, rivers and roads brought people from diverse geographical areas and ethnicities together to forge the economic and political foundations of Central Vietnam. | The Sa Huynh culture along the Thu Bon River -- Sa Huynh culture and international trade -- Thu Bon : the longest of the main rivers in Central Vietnam -- The ‘Upland and Lowland Exchange Network’ during the Champa period (from the 2nd to the 15th centuries CE) -- The Katu people as the Uplanders -- The ‘Upland-lowland Exchange Network’ in Central Vietnam : the patterning of multiethnic coexistence in the region -- Endnotes --References. | Vietnam, Central|Economic development--Vietnam, Central|Communities--Vietnam, Central|Cultural relations | IndoChina {18486576}|Heritage and Culture {18336130} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia|NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

Ships sailing between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean had to, and still have to, sail around the southern coast of Singapore. Over the centuries, control over the Singapore Straits was thus viewed as essential for the continued prosperity of the various maritime trading powers. In the early 17th century, the Singapore Straits was the setting for numerous confrontations between the established Portuguese power and the rising Dutch power. The Portuguese had been in the region since the beginning of the 16th century, having taken control of the sultanate of Melaka in 1511 as well as acquiring Macao, a small foothold off mainland China, in 1557. In the 17th century, the Dutch were a rising maritime trading power out to displace the Portuguese in the region. | [17th century Singapore Straits] -- The Dutch East India Company (VOC -- Admiral Cornelis Matelieff de Jonge and Syahbandar Seri Raja Negara -- Dutch-Johor agreement of 1606 -- References. | NA | Politics and Government {18336134}|Geography and Travels {18486573}|Geographical areas and countries {18486575} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
