Singapore River Boats, Boat Quay, Singapore CBD - Home Song
I admire the SIngapore River, from the shore, near Raffles Landing point. It was a beautiful day! Singapore River, Boat Quay, and the skyscrapers of the CBD! Played to the music of Home, sung by Kit Chan.
-----
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home

About Old Singapore River:
The mouth of the Singapore River was the old Port of Singapore, being naturally sheltered by the southern islands. Historically, the city of Singapore initially grew around the port so the river mouth became the centre of trade, commerce and finance. To this day, area around the old Singapore River mouth, the Downtown Core, remains the most expensive and economically important piece of land in Singapore.
Some of the temples, shrines and other places of worship still stand in the vicinity of the river. Bridges such as Anderson Bridge, Elgin Bridge and Cavenagh Bridge still remain, the Merlion, the shophouses, and the large trees such as Banyan and Madras Thorn. Some parts of this area include quays such as Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay, which generated trade and extensive demand for services with the boats that landed at the quays. Boat Quay itself was handling three quarters of the shipping service in the 1860s. Shophouses and warehouses flourished around the quays due to their proximity to trade during the colonial era, but presently house various bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as antique shops.
When Sir Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore in 1819, he realised the importance of the river for, in the same year of 1819, the north bank was drained for government buildings and, in 1822, the south bank was reclaimed and a retaining wall and steps were built.
Robertson Quay on the Singapore River. However, with the expansion of trade came congestion and pollution.
Through lack of knowledge or foresight, the bridges were constructed too low and the river was too shallow for the demands that were to be made on its use. This historic river, which Raffles had fashioned from salt marshes, sand bars and mangrove swamps, has witnessed the British rule and the Japanese occupation, and has supported years of economic activity by the Chinese, Malays, Indians and others.
Once a small fishing village and settlement situated mid-way along the China-India trade route, Singapore’s fortunes rose and fell, until 28 Jan 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles landed along her banks, and forever changed her destiny. After declaring it a free trading port, the city went from backwater to bustling almost immediately.
The river quickly became the island’s lifeblood, as commerce flourished along wharves like Boat, Clarke and Robertson Quays. Immigrants from China, India, and nearby came seeking fortunes, and set up their settlement close to her banks. The structures of Singapore’s judiciary, cultural, social and sporting establishment also sprang up nearby.
Then as times changed, so did the Singapore River. Trading soon made way for financial, banking, high-value and high-tech services, housed in skyscrapers. Part of the thriving Central Business District, they launched Singapore onto the global stage with great success. A modern miracle that began right at the Singapore River.
Singapore Zoo and The River Safari [HD]
A quick summary of what you can explore at the of the best Rainforest Zoo and Asia's first River-Themed Wildlife Park in Singapore.
The Singapore Zoo formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens and commonly known locally as the Mandai Zoo, occupies 28 hectares (69 acres) on the margins of Upper Seletar Reservoir within Singapore's heavily forested central catchment area. The zoo was built at a cost of S$9m granted by the government of Singapore and opened on 27 June 1973. It is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manage the neighbouring Night Safari and the Jurong BirdPark. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.6 million visitors each year. (Quote from Wikipedia)
The River Safari is a river-themed zoo and aquarium located in Singapore. It is built over 12 hectares (30 acres) and nestled between its two counterparts, the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari.[2] It is the first of its kind in Asia and features freshwater attractions and river boat rides as its main highlights. The safari was built at a cost of S$160m, with an expected visitor rate of 820,000 people yearly. (Quote from Wikipedia)

Singapore River. Film 90746
Singapore. Singapore River: the Elgin Bridge, many small wooden boats packed tightly on the river, shophouses and godowns (warehouses) as well as large colonial buildings, often with neo-classical façades, on the bank. Boats, ranging from flat-bottomed wooden rowboats (sampans) to motor-operated bumboats with 'eyes' painted on the bow, cruise along the river. Overhead shot of a large wooden barge, transporting sacks and crates; a man in a wide-brimmed sun hat stands inside operating a long rudder. These goods are transported by all sorts of boats to Singapore's docks, shown here as a stretch of godowns by the quay (Clarke or Boat Quay) and tens of wooden boats tightly parked on the river, paving over the water. Shots of workers - usually Chinese, wearing sun hats, transporting heavy crates suspended from ropes from deck to the quay, staggering under the weight: this is a distribution point for products from Malaya and neighbouring countries.
The façade of a large colonial building by a busy road, a row of parked motorcars and trishaws/rickshaws in front of it; a traffic warden in a bowler helmet and khakis stands in the middle of the road directing traffic. The front of the Supreme Court and City Hall, with its dome and neo-classical foyer, the Singapore Cricket Club, a smaller late-Victorian bungalow, and the side of the Victoria Concert Hall: all examples of how, in many ways, this British port looks like a European city. The front and foyer of Victoria Theatre, advertising 'THE INDIAN ASSOCIATION: MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC SECTION VARIETY: ENTERTAINMENT FEB 1ST 8.30 PM'. The dome and neo-classical façade of Parliament House nearby. A busy street, filled mainly with colonial buildings, 'modern vehicles' moving alongside 'the carts and jinrickshaws of the East.' A row of shop houses, their fronts covered in Chinese signs, next to a road with a line of rickshaws running down it. Another road, with large motorcars and bicycles; telephone wires and tramlines overhead and a large 'Tiger Balm' advertisement on a billboard.
The exterior of the Masjid Jamek (Jaime Mosque) in Kuala Lumpur. The exterior of a large colonial building (?) in Malacca. A row of colonial houses. Shots of 'native civilisation': a street market, old Chinese women in sun hats, carrying baskets of produce suspended from a pole across their shoulders, an Indian lady, Malay women walking through a crowded street market with baskets of food on the ground; an Indian fruit seller on a mat on the ground, displaying her fruit. Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Singapore are all examples of Malayan cities which contain a mixture of east and west. The contrast can also be seen in the many religious buildings in Malaya: what may be the National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur with its great golden dome and many minarets. A Hindu temple, with its multi-layered roof standing at the end of a row of coconut trees. A Chinese temple also amid foliage, with an ornate carved roof, lanterns and incense burners. The steeple of a church, built with Gothic undertones.
Most cities and villages in Malaya are near the water: Indian labourers unload large bales from a boat to the quay across a single plank bridge. Chinese junks and smaller fishing boats bobbing in the sea. Shots of people rowing sampans.

Singapore River at Clarke Quay | EnterSingapore.info
|| Clarke Quay, river embankment, part of the Singapore River area, located in the Central Region. It was named after Lieutenant-General Sir Andrew Clarke, second Governor of the Straits Settlements. The quay was the focal point of trading activities. Many of the original brick warehouses and godowns of the early days are conserved. These old storage buildings are transformed to modern day commercial buildings, giving Clarke Quay a new lease of life. The well-preserved buildings now cater to shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment needs. The pedestrian promenades come alive especially in the evenings.
Clarke Quay is now a colourful kaleidoscope of buildings housing antiques, restaurants, hip cafes, jazz clubs and more. At night, the entire zone is a sight to behold with all five blocks of restored warehouses lit up and beamed with an array of quirky alternative to mainstream clubs. With an international presence in terms of partying options, this is a convergence point for people around the world to celebrate.
Clarke Quay offers an integrated venue option for everyone: the party is not always confined to the buildings alone. The fountain which grooves to the mood of the night also attracts numerous pub goers. Day or night, enjoy a variety of food, drinks, music and entertainment all conveniently located in the same vicinity separated by short walks along the river or through the beautiful covered streets of Clarke Quay.

A City and a River
The city-state of Singapore is one of the few city-states left in the whole world. The dazzling city of Singapore is located in the south of Malaysia and north of Indonesia. Located 137 kms north of the Equator, this enchanting island-nation is the smallest existing country in South-east Asia.
The story of Singapore cannot be told without the mention of the Singapore River. This 11 km long smallish river holds currents of immense historical importance. In the nascent days of Singapore, the old port of Singapore besides this river happened to be the business hub of this erstwhile trading post. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of 'modern Singapore' first landed on the north bank of Singapore River where he founded his colony, which slowly snowballed into Singapore.
The river is a witness to the steady evolution of a fishing village to a glitzy nation-state. Once the trade artery of the colony, even today the Singapore River happens to be the heart of Singapore city. It can precisely be called as the central channel of the heavily populated Central Business District of Singapore. The Downtown Core area, besides the river, is the most important area of Singapore from the economic point of view.
Singapore, which attained its independence from the Britishers on 9th August 1965, has come a long way in the path of growth and development. The population of Singapore is around 4.68 million. After becoming an independent nation, Singapore city-state started rapidly climbing on the ladder of development. Today, the standard of living of people in Singapore has increased a lot over the last four decades, and Singapore has emerged as the prime shopping and entertainment hub of Asia, and also an exotic tourist destination.
Singapore Cycling - Business Districts & Singapore River Side 4K - Tanjong Pagar & Raffles Place
One Sunday morning, I started cycling from Tanjong Pagar to Raffles Place, which is the Central Business District of Singapore, right down to Boat Quay. On weekdays, Raffles Place is busy with working people but on weekends, there are few people around. In the Boat Quay area, you can see places of attraction such as the Asian Civilizations Museum etc. so there are tourists walking around.

Singapore 4K - Singapore River Cleaning Boats - Singapore Travel Videos
Singapore 4K Videos. Amazing Singapore River Cleaning Boat - Trash Skimmer Boats - It seems that it is not that difficult to clear rubbish away from the surface of a lake, river, harbor or the sea for that matter. We were recently on a visit to Singapore and while sitting and relaxing at the Singapore River banks we saw some amazing Rubbish Collecting boats skimming leaves and garbage off the surface of the river. These Trash boats were extremely effective and it made us wonder why more countries do not use the Rubbish Skimming Boats to keep there waterways clean. This is the first time we have seen these boats but we have seen many polluted rivers, lakes and harbors around the word that would highly benefit from this kind of Trash Collection Boat.
Watch our Singapore Travel Videos here to see Singapore Attractions and places to visit:
We are also on Facebook and Instagram:
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Do you know of a polluted river, lake or harbour in your country that could benefit from a Garbage Collecting Boat like this. Please share this video on your Facebook so that more people can see that there are options to easily keep a waterway clean!
Wiki writes about the Singapore River, The Singapore River (Malay: Sungei Singapura, Chinese: 新加坡河) is a river that runs parallel to Alexandra Road and feeds into the Marina Reservoir in the southern part of Singapore. The immediate upper watershed of the Singapore River is known as the Singapore River Planning Area, although the western part of the watershed is classified under River Valley planning area...

Transformation of River Valley
River Valley was largely covered by marsh and forest in 1819.
Redevelopment of River Valley began in the 1960s with a clean-up of the polluted Singapore River. In 1969, then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew tasked the Public Works Department and the Public Utilities Board to clean up the river and Singapore’s waterways.
Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA)1991 Concept Plan, the Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay areas along River Valley Road were zoned for entertainment, residential and hotel accommodation
purposes.
During the 1990s, numerous private condominiums were also built along River Valley Road. And the latest would be Martin Modern, to be launched in 2H2017.
