Station 5:Heritage Deck - Heritage Panel

There are two panels at LSR on the platform towards the
viewing gallery. 

• Heritage panel is a board of knowledge detailing the history of the Lower Seletar Reservoir and its similarities and differences, from then to now.
• Lower Seletar Reservoir used to be named “Selita”, which means Straits in Malay
• People of that time traded for tobacco and kerosene and grew crops such as gambier and pepper

Reflection:

We were really impressed by the information that was put up on the heritage panel as the informations are really detailed and we actually learnt alot about the history of the lower seletar reservoir. 

For example, Lower Seletar Reservoir was used to be known as ’’Selita”, which means straits in Malay. Also, we found out that Lower Seletar Reservoir was built in 1920 as the third reservoir following MacRitchie and Peirce Reservoir in order to support Singapore’s increasing population and industrialization at that time.
