Drift Like A Ghost Around A High Rise HDB Block

Haig Road connects Geylang Road and East Coast Road. The road is named after Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Bemersyde, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force in France from 1915 to 1918. Located in Katong, the road used to be part of the former Kampong Serani. Haig Road was named after Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Bemersyde, who won the war of attrition for the British and worked to better the lives of wounded and retired servicemen. Haig Road and Still Road once straddled the Confederate Estate, which was owned by Chew Joo Chiat. The road was thus part of a large coconut plantation, for which the estate was known. Haig Road also used to be part of Kampong Amber. The road continues as Amber Road after its junction with East Coast Road. Around the 1950s, an increasing number of Eurasians moved to live along Haig Road and the place became known as Kampong Serani (“Eurasian Village” in Malay). Kampong Serani consisted of little wooden terrace houses set in three rows, making up three sides of a rectangle. The fourth side was a mansion where the landowner of the kampong lived, segregated from the rest of the village. Kampong Serani soon became a landmark to taxi drivers and trishaw riders. The Serani residents were said to have shared a tight communal bond strengthened by their activities together. With the development of public housing flats in Singapore, residents moved out of the kampong gradually. Haig Road was also home to colonial government quarters. During the Japanese Occupation (1942–45), these buildings were used as social sites by the Japanese soldiers. From a seaside suburb, Haig Road developed into a traditional low-rise residential area. Its landscape changed dramatically after land reclamation works, which led to the creation of East Coast Park, a manmade lagoon and a small jetty. Condominiums and luxury chalets were also developed in the area. Due to their proximity, Haig Road also shares the excitement of the Geylang Serai bazaar. During the Hari Raya Puasa festive season, the bazaar bustles with stalls selling clothes, shoes and food. The southern end of Haig Road between Dunman and Mountbatten roads have long been home to several schools. The first three schools in the area appear to have been Tanjong Katong Secondary School, Haig Boys’ School and Haig Girls’ School in 1952.8 Other primary schools there include Fowlie Road and Seraya Primary, which later merged with Haig Boys’ and Mountbatten to become Tanjong Katong Primary School in 2001.9 Dunman High (founded 1956) and Dunman Secondary (founded 1963) both started in the area but moved away in 1995 and 1990 respectively, while Haig Girls’ left the area in 1995.
