As one of Singapore鈥檚 oldest public housing estates, Dakota Crescent holds many cherished memories for its current and former residents. But soon enough, these recollections will be all that鈥檚 left of the low-rise flats, which were built in 1958. To make way for redevelopment, the buildings are slated to be vacated and torn down by the end of the year.
Before that happens, numerous initiatives have sprung up to capture the estate鈥檚 kampong spirit of olden days and preserve the community鈥檚 precious history and heritage. One such project is Heartland, a 24-minute documentary on Dakota Crescent, with mentions of other old neighbourhoods like Queenstown and Tiong Bahru.
Watch it below for a slice of nostalgia and a glimpse into the personal stories of residents.
