Images of Geylang Serai or what's left of it now



Geylang Serai


About a city block in size we have the Malay Village area with former houses and buildings still
intact but now housing small malay businesses and stores


The front of the new Geylang Serai Market, the food stalls are on the upper level


The Surau - a small prayer hall


The New Market at Geylang Serai




Geylang Serai Singapore, has transformed and as a matter of fact Singapore has transformed  ever since I first set foot there in the mid-sixties. It is for the better, one cannot fight modernisation and its a matter of economics too. But we do see some remnants of Geylang Serai of the past too and its kind of nostalgic to be seeing some of the traditional setting still in place and converted into the Malay World where tourists and locals can enjoy the atmosphere there. Enjoy the images....taken from my camera phone.
