  • If you have been to Pulau Ubin, you'd probably have stopped at Yak Hong, a provision shop at the town circle, for a drink to quench your thirst.
    During its heyday, Yak Hong served thousands of people living and working on the island. Today the 100-year-old provision shop is frequented by visitors and 20 to 30 residents.

    Respect & Salute for Serving the Residents of Pulau Ubin for All these Decades! Singapore Tourism Board should offer help in whatever way is appropriate to alleviate Yak Hong Shop's challenges! 🌷🌿🌍💖🇸🇬

    Interesting. These folks lives longer than in the mainland. One of the reason, less stress or strife. And another thing from the noises of the big city. Glad to see this people.

    probably the only big island left to develop other than commercial sentosa. I know this precious island won’t stay this way forever. As much as development is inevitable, i only hope it won’t just become a gigantic shopping mall with residences that only the 1 percenters can afford. Should that happen, the rest of the middle incomes and below can suck thumb once more and live in misery.

      27 years is nothing for these birds. They can live to 70 or 80 if lucky. Don't buy a parrot unless you can commit. Often times big parrots stay in families for generations and outlive the original owner.

      For this still can possibly replace with eg. Vending machine. Except that it would lose its human touch which is invaluable and cannot be replaced or replicated. Some crafts like frying good char kway teow may become a lost craft

    • @vennsim71
      @vennsim71 2 роки тому +1

      Not funny in any sense. English is applicable to most viewers in the region, or worldwide. It’s also one of the official languages of Singapore.
      The name carried the Malay term as Singapore once part of Malaysia, and has the heritage. That’s what made Singapore beautiful, preserving street names in English, Chinese, Malay, Indian and other minorities.
