Our project is done in tandem with the opening of the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall which is located in Balestier, and pays attention to the less-documented area of the social history of Singapore.

Underlying Problem: - Singaporeans, especially youths, do not know of Singapore's rich history. - Balestier has a rich history, but few people actually know of the historical places located there. - If the youths of today do not document history, our heritage will be lost over time and future generations will be unable to know about our history. - These historical places stand as a witness to our rich heritage as a nation, and it is our responsibility to preserve this history.
