Hi SGN Community

Happy Friday! Can you #GuessWhere is this? Is it Japan? South Korea? Or Thailand?

The answer is… none of the above! These gorgeous floral archways in full bloom is located in Singapore, at the Japanese Cemetery Park - the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at 29,359sqm.

Located in Hougang, this park serves as the final resting ground for Japanese soldiers and civilians who lived in the early 20th century, and contains nearly 1,000 graves of Singapore’s early Japanese community.

And amidst all of that, the park’s beautiful floral archways and quaint Japanese architecture will whisk you to Japan with its organized and zen-like surroundings.

This #friyay poll, let us know if you’ve visited this park before! Open / Comment

Happy Monday!

You may not think of Simone Heng as Singaporean because of her strong Australian accent. But the truth is – she was born in Singapore , and her blood is a colourful cocktail that contains all of Singapore's major races.

That's why finally earning her permanent residency (PR) last October was a deeply emotional experience, particularly after a lifelong search for a sense of belonging

Learn about her global career in broadcasting, and how she plucked up the courage after 15 years to chase her dream of becoming an independent speaker.

Have a great week ahead!
