SINGAPORE - Interactive games and a 360-degree video of life on board a container ship are among the attractions on a bus that will travel across the island to show people Singapore's rich maritime heritage.
Done in conjunction with Singapore's bicentennial celebrations, the bus will also feature panels that profile prominent figures in the country's maritime history. They include 19th-century merchant Seah Eu Chin, who helped set up Tan Tock Seng Hospital,and unionist R.A. Hamid, who helped form the Singapore Organisation of Seamen.
Speaking at its launch, MPA chief executive Quah Ley Hoon said the bus highlights the"critical role" of the maritime industry in Singapore's economy. Ms Quah also noted the rich maritime history of the Sembawang area, which in the early 20th century was home to the Singapore Naval Base, which became the Sembawang Shipyard in 1968 after Singapore's independence.
