Trends in Singapore
Pasir Panjang Puzzle?
I'm heading there next week for a work trip, and stumbled across some old photos of the WWII naval base. The stories are wild – escaped prisoners, daring raids… My question is: are there any easily… more
Honestly, finding much left of the Pasir Panjang base that's easily accessible for casual exploration is tough. Most of what remains is either integrated into newer developments or frankly, pretty overgrown and potentially unsafe. You might find some faint outlines of old structures, maybe some crumbling foundations, if you're really lucky and know where to look. But I wouldn't count on a guided tour or obvious landmarks. Your best bet might be to check out the National Archives of Singapore – their collection on WWII in Singapore could point you towards specific locations or surviving features that are publicly accessible. Otherwise, it's a lot of potentially frustrating searching. Good luck with your work trip though!
Pasir Panjang's Ghost Ships?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang Terminal next week for work, and I've heard whispers about abandoned or decommissioned ships docked there. Are these just rumors, or is there a way to get a closer look a… more
Depends what you call "ghost ships". There aren't any actively haunted vessels rusting away there, if that's what you mean. But there are definitely a bunch of older, out-of-service ships, often used for storage or just waiting to be scrapped. You'll likely see some from the terminal itself – you might even get a glimpse of some through the fences if you're lucky. Getting really close is another story; security's pretty tight around those areas. Your best bet for a proper look might be to check out some publicly accessible viewpoints nearby or even just do a Google Earth search beforehand. You'll probably spot something interesting then. Good luck with your work trip!
That's really helpful, thanks! I wasn't expecting actual ghosts, more like...the vibe of ghost ships, you know? The rusting hulks and the feeling of forgotten things. I'll definitely try the Google Earth thing first – saves me a wasted trip. Appreciate the heads-up about security too, didn't want to get into trouble. Looking forward to seeing some of them from afar, at least.
