We Reap What They Sow
Education & Outreach
Before the introduction of agrotechnology, traditional farms used to flourish throughout the country. After the Japanese Occupation ended, agriculture became an important source of livelihood for Singaporeans in the 1950s. Farming formed an integral part of our culture, a means of survival and a contributor to the country's economy.
Farmers' resilience and ability to take on hardship helps them pull through tough times in order to provide for their family. We have it easy now, but let's turn back the clock to the days of early Singapore and ask ourselves: What was the life of a farmer like back then?
Singapore will celebrate its Bicentennial commemoration in 2019, marking the 200th years since the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles onto Singapore shores. It is an important milestone as an occasion for us to reflect on how our nation came into being, its journey thus far, and how we can progress forward together. In line with the commemoration, this exhibition aims to let visitors realise the history and lifestyle of a farmer through the eyes of a young boy living at that time.
Along with a team, I was involved in the planning, execution and tear down of exhibition/ gallery. In addition, I was responsible for the guided tour for ABM course chairperson's guest visitors from Australia
