From its origins as a Port in the center of Asia, follow the trails of Towkays and Coolies along the Quays and Market places of Singapore. Discover temples hidden in plain sight, visit the house of a Triad boss, touch an original Coolie coin and understand how their daily Gig-economy had similarities and parallels to today's economy.
Explore the huge divides between the Agent recruiters and their indentured "Piglets", as the labourers were sometimes called, the role of Indian money-lenders, subsidised gambling trains, and how the Coolie-coin system effectively removed real cash rewards. This tour will upend many of your assumptions and show things in a new light.
