The motif, and the mural of people planting rice are details from the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in Singapore. The station was completed in 1932, and for a long time it was the main transportation for people travelling between Singapore and Malaysia.
My father and I were frequent passengers on the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route, thus the station held lots of memories for me.
The building ceased operating as a train station in 2011, and was gazetted as a national monument.
Building Bridges 
I love these pictures and the culture you share. Hopefully, you get to go back to visit.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts.
I never had the chance to visit or be at the Tanjong Pagar station. My train trip to KL in those days was from JB station (because its nearer to where I lived at Bukit Batok). Should try to make a visit one of these days, before they decide to tear it down.
It’s a lovely building – graceful and atmospheric like the KL railway station.
It’s permanently closed now (usually opened to public on certain holidays) since last week, to make way for the MRT.
Thanks for the info.
