The urban landscape of Singapore is changing rapidly. However, many historical buildings are spared the wrecker's ball and preserved as Singapore's treasured landmarks.

To be released on 4 Nov 98 is a set of four stamps featuring four historic buildings which were built in the 19th and early 20th Century. The four buildings are: The Parliament House (NVI), the Former CHIJ Chapel (70c), Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall ($1) and the Hill Street Building ($2).

These stamps are reminders that these historical landmarks have a significance that goes beyond brick and mortar. They each offer an intimate slice of Singapore's social history and should be preserved for future generations.
