Singapore has a very long history - no doubt. The Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy (90–168) identified a place called Sabana in the general area in the second century. The earliest written record of Singapore occurs in a Chinese account from the third century, describing the island of Pu Luo Chung (蒲 罗 中). This was translated from the Malay name "Pulau Ujong", or "island at the end", at the end of the Malay Peninsula that is. But the founding father of the modern Republic of Singapore is the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew! When Singapore gained independence as the Republic of Singapore from Malayisa in 1965, Mr. Lee was faced with an impossible task but managed to make our “little red dot” what it is today!

Whether you are on “shop till you drop” Singapore trips, or would just like to be a part of the hustle and bustle, especially on the weekend, there’s no doubt that this area is one of the finest shopping destinations in Asia. Orchard Road’s humble beginnings date back to the early 1830s when it was an unnamed road home to fruit orchards, nutmeg plantations and pepper farms.

Orchard Road’s bustling boulevard is now a retail and dining paradise, with over 5,000 establishments offering the ultimate lifestyle experience to tourists and locals alike.
