Description
For the first time, National Monuments along Telok Ayer Street – the street with the most number of National Monuments in Singapore – will be lit up by professional lighting designers.
Formerly a coastal road, Telok Ayer Street was a major landing point for immigrants in the 19th century. On 8-9 May 2015, the historic landmarks along this street will be lit up in remembrance of the hope of our forefathers who sought a new life in Singapore.
A National Monument that will be lit up is the Al-Abrar Mosque, which was established by Chulia immigrants in 1850. The illumination of the mosque, conceptualised by Italian lighting designer Marco Palandella, aims to present the essence of both the building and its historical context. One of the highlights is a projection of the sea, which serves as a reminder of the old shoreline in front of the street.
