Singapore Heritage: Through Places of Historical Interest is a useful collection of history and stories behind the places of historical interest in Singapore. Many of the historical places are iconic landmarks which are an integral part of our collective history and rich culture.

As Singapore progresses, it is important for us to understand our heritage so that we can better appreciate the strides that we have made. The ethnic and cultural diversity of the places of interest in this book reflects how our forefathers came from other parts of the world and built Singapore into what it is today. It also represents how diverse communities were able to live harmoniously and this contributed to Singapore's peace and social harmony, which in turn provided the strong foundation of our economic growth.
