Highlights
Are you fascinated by the lives of olden-day towkays and coolies? Then make your way along the quays and marketplaces of Singapore. Here is where you will discover temples hidden in plain sight. You can even visit the house of a triad boss. Or touch an original coolie coin. One takeaway here is how the old gig economy is not too different from the one we have today.
