10-stories: Queenstown Through The Years

A mention of the name “’Queenstown”’ and the ubiquitous rows of 10-storey housing blocks at Tanglin Halt immediately comes to mind. In spite of their uniformity, these residences, more affectionately known as chap lau (Hokkien: 10 storeys), have come to encapsulate the soul of Queenstown and the imitable spirit of her residents. It is no coincidence that this publication relies on the pun and close association to the number 10 to portray Queenstown. These stories are, by no means, spun from the threads of imagination, but oral histories recorded in the public archives interwoven with intimate recounts from more recent interviews. Through these very memories and experiences, the reality of Queenstown unfolds. Convinces. Connects.
