Here's
your last chance to visit the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station before
it closes down for good
We've already bid adieu to the tracks that connected Singapore to
Malaysia, now all that's left is the long-standing Tanjong Pagar
Railway Station. It'll be closing its doors on Christmas
Day all the way until 2025, when it'll be reopened with parts
of the old railway station integrated into the new MRT station. As
a way to say goodbye to this place that holds memories for many
Singaporeans, the Singapore Land Authority is hosting an open house
to celebrate Christmas and to recreate what the station was like in
its golden years.
The open house will feature a Christmas market with accompanying by
jazz performances by NUS’s Capella group Resonance and
Singaporean jazz artist Richard Jackson and
his quartet. If you don’t know where to start, you can always hop
onto the "train", which will bring you on a tour of sorts around
the national monument. Otherwise, have an intimate farewell with
loved ones and friends by bringing your own food and laying out a
mat along the old tracks for a nice evening picnic as you take it
all in. Also, it's the season of giving so bring along some books
and toys you'd like to donate to the underprivileged at the
Community Chest booth.
