SINGAPORE – Every morning for the last 30 years, retired shipping executive Chin Hin Fatt has brought three or four of his zebra doves – named for their distinct stripes – to the Kebun Baru Birdsinging Club, so his pet birds can sing with their feathered friends.
“I identify them by their different cages,’ he told The Straits Times. “Occasionally, I enter some in bird-singing competitions here, but I don’t want to stress them too much either.” In 1987, poles were erected to attract more bird owners. Today, the venue can accommodate more than 1,000 cages. The club is featured in National Heritage Board’s Ang Mo Kio Heritage Trail, launched in 2011 and now refreshed to include new stories of the town’s history and heritage.
The trail also features three self-guided routes exploring different aspects of Ang Mo Kio’s heritage – Iconic Landmarks, Hidden Heartland Gems and Scenic Fringes.When it was completed in the late 1970s, Ang Mo Kio Town Centre was one of the largest town centres in Singapore. After the occupation, these vats were retrieved and left to air-dry for over two months in the school before being returned to Xu.
