Stumbled upon this book (pictured) while browsing through digital books on the National Library Board’s (NLB) app. Many of Pasir Panjang’s long-time residents would know that Mr. Goh Chok Tong who was Singapore’s second prime minister from 1990 to 2004, grew up in Pasir Panjang and attended Pasir Panjang Primary School (now the Breakthrough Missions at the end of Yew Siang Road).

Although this is a book written for children, it was thoroughly delightful to read as an adult, and to catch a glimpse of life in old Pasir Panjang.

Did you know that you can borrow digital books through the NLB app simply by using your SingPass? There is a literary treasure trove at your fingertips, for everyone of all ages - try it!
