The name comes from the Malay language, where kampung means 'village' and 'gelam' was a type of tree known as the Paperbark tree that grew in the area and was frequently used for building ships. For a long time, Kampong Glam was a fishing village due to its location on the Rochor River. In the 1820s, Sir Stamford Raffles designated Kampong Glam, as well as an annual stipend to Sultan Hussain Mohammed Shah, for use by the Muslim community after he signed a treaty ceding Singapore to the East India Company. The Sultan used these funds to build a palace. Read more. 30 minutes.

In the late 20th century, the houses were used as homes for poor Malay families. Today, Haji Lane has created its own identity and attracts many tourists from all around the world. Although the street is rather small, the area has become a tourist attraction for those who want to see something more than just skyscrapers in Singapore. 20 minutes.

One of the most famous depictions of this iconic symbol is the statue found at Merlion Park, a scenic spot that stands near the mouth of the river. The Merlion's fish-like body symbolises Singapore's origins as a fishing village, known as Temasek in Malay. The statue's head represents the city's original name of Singapura (lion city in Sanskrit). According to legend, Sang Nila Utama, a Srivijayan prince of Palembang, landed on our shores amidst a tempest at sea. Near the mouth of the Singapore River, the prince spied a strange creature which he identified as a lion, thus giving Singapura its name. 30 minutes.
