In response to another reader’s request, I went down to West Coast to tour the landed houses there. This is an area that I’m quite familiar with, as my Mother has been working there my entire life. I remember when it was still a sleepy area that wasn’t very in demand.
West Coast used to be known as a “Japanese area” due to the presence of the Japanese Schools, although the area has become more cosmopolitan in recent years. The Japanese Kindergarten and Japanese Secondary School are located next to each other whilst there is another Japanese School further down, closer to NUS. Japanese International SchoolBesides these schools, the houses at West Coast are also bounded by a large industrial estate to the South and West.
Besides the Japanese schools, there is also Qi Fa Primary School within the estate proper and Tanglin Secondary School a little further South. A piece of land next to the Twin VEW condo has been earmarked for use by an educational institution, although I couldn’t find out which school exactly will be situated on the piece of land.Nan Hua Primary, Pei Tong Primary and Clementi Primary are also close by within 1km of some houses.
There also appears to be a childcare centre within the estate although, from the looks of it, I’m not sure if it’s in operation. Unfortunately, when it comes to retail activities, West Coast isn’t the most exciting area.

Stabbing of Rushdie thrusts a tranquil literary retreat into mayhemBefore Salman Rushdie arrived on Friday (Aug 12), the bucolic New York retreat where the author was due to speak had arranged for a law enforcement presence at his lecture, mindful that the security might be needed for a man who faced death threats. Chautauqua Institution, a haven in the west of the state How can anyone say that ISLAM is the same as other religions? They put out calls for people's DEATH in the name of their faith! Sooner or later I just knew this would happen. Don't say 'not all Muslims...' because ONLY Islam does this. Funny (or sad) when the state journalists of Singapore forget to mention that Singapore is such a coward country that it has bamned the novel. Basically taking the side of the murderers.
