"The Singapore River has always been central to Singapore's history and development, serving as the lifeline of Singapore's trade and commerce in its early years. Today, it has transformed into a thriving hub of activity – with historic buildings, commercial activities and culture, as well as pedestrian-friendly waterfronts and promenades. Its progress reflects the close collaboration between our public and private sectors. As we gather for the 8th edition of the Singapore River Festival, we celebrate not just the river's rich heritage but the shared efforts that have driven its development and fueled economic growth," said Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State for Home Affairs & National Development.
