Synopsis

An Arab merchant and community leader serves as a bridge between different communities. He donates land for the building of St Andrew's Cathedral and what eventually becomes Tan Tock Seng Hospital. This community-spirited man is none other than Syed Omar Bin Ali Aljunied.

Who are our amazing pioneers, the people who travelled from distant lands to seek out adventure and fortune in early Singapore? In this series of fully-illustrated books, you'll discover our pioneers' inspiring stories, some of which have never been written out for children before! So, come and celebrate the people who have made a difference to Singapore, through their hard work, service and sacrifice.
