SINGAPORE - Life for Mrs Dolly Leow now is very different compared to when she was a child some 60 years ago.

The storytelling sessions are where individuals like Mrs Leow, or members of different communities such as the Singapore Armed Forces Veterans League, can share stories from their past. "The area where I used to live, Sophia Road , housed many communities. I grew up speaking dialects, but I also learned Malay and a bit of Tamil, and there were even Jews... we integrated well with all other races."

Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin, guest of honour at the launch of the roadshow, said the bicentennial year is a good opportunity for Singaporeans to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and think about the future. Other exhibits at the roadshow include a 700-year timeline wall of Singapore's history, from 1299 to 1965.
