Uncover the hidden lives of Lavender's early public housing on this heritage trail.
Don’t Call Us Poor peels back the facade of Lavender and Jalan Besar to reveal the stories etched in its one-room flats and rental blocks. This isn't just a walk; it's a guided investigation into how these estates were designed and planned, and what they reveal about the lives of the people who called them home. You'll observe the layouts and shared spaces up close, and rethink what value and wealth truly meant to earlier residents.
Starting at 10:00AM on Saturday 26 September 2026, the trail kicks off at Lavender MRT Station (Exit A) and runs for about two hours and fifteen minutes. As you stroll through Lavender, you'll also hunt for traces of Singapore's municipal past, piecing together a layer of history often overlooked. Priced at S$68, this guided tour suits history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the human stories behind our public housing.
Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to see Lavender with fresh eyes — it's a heritage trail that promises a deeper understanding of our neighbourhoods.
