The 100 year old Pulau Ubin provision shop that opens 365 days a year

100 years old is impressive. Actually it can be designated a historical place of interest in other nations like Japan.

Too bad pap won't give a crap if it's part of national history or not. Just look at the number of historical sites like National Stadium, National Library, National Theater that they have torn down - all far less than 100 years.

the oxley house havent torn down milk a fake heritage

Well, just because it's old doesn't mean it is worth preserving... Just saying

If you have been to Pulau Ubin, you'd probably have stopped at Yak Hong, a provision shop at the town circle, for a drink to quench your thirst. During its heyday, Yak Hong served thousands of people living and working on the island. Today the 100-year-old provision shop is frequented by visitors and 20 to 30 residents.If you have been to Pulau Ubin, you'd probably have stopped at Yak Hong, a provision shop at the town circle, for a drink to quench your thirst.

I wonder how the pap expects Singaporeans to respect Singapore History if they can't be bothered to preserve anything of historical value. May as well change the national anthem to English.

sick and tired of this fast pace lifestyle, feel so relax and slow whenever we go there...
