A few
months ago my father and I visited Singapore, one of the most famous cities in
Asia.
Singapore,
a small island, lies at the southern and of West Malaysia. A long and narrow
piece of land joins Singapore with Johore Hahru, the southern-most town of West
Malaysia. Singapore is now an independent state.
The city
of Singapore is extremely beautiful. It is well known for its centres of
business and other activities. There are many places of interest' such as the
Ti8er Balm Garden, the Botanical Gardens and Raffles Museum. There are also
many important centres of learning such as the University of Singapore, Science
Centre, the Nanyang University and the Polytechnic. Being a famous city,
hundreds of people
come every day from various parts of the world to do business or to
enjoy the sights of the city. Singapore therefore has large and beautiful
airports and its harbours are full of ships.
There
are many night schools where people who cannot go to the day schools for some
reason or other can continue their studies. And, the government of Singapore is
still doing its best to make further improvements in the city for the benefit
of the people.
During
my stay in Singapore, I went out every day with my father to see the beautiful
and interesting places and things in the city. One day we went to the Tiger
Balm Garden where I saw several statues of people, animals and other strange
creature' beautifully made and kept. The sea near this garden makes this a
pleasant place to visit. We spent almost half of the day at this place.
Another
day we visited the museum where I saw hundreds of curious’ things preserved for
scholar 4 and others. It was indeed an education to see all those things. There
is so much to learn here that every visit by any person is sure to add to his
knowledge.
I also
visited some of the harbours and saw the large ships anchored 5 there. The
sight of the ships roused a desire in me to cross the oceans and go round the
world. I was indeed deeply impressed by the activities at the harbour.
