Before It’s Gone | Singapore’s First HDB Point Blocks at Mei Ling Street

Before It’s Gone | Singapore’s First HDB Point Blocks at Mei Ling Street Take a quiet walk around Mei Ling Street in Queenstown, Singapore, and discover a piece of Singapore’s early public housing history. These distinctive HDB point blocks are among the early housing developments built during Singapore’s rapid transformation in the 1960s. With their unique point-block design, they have become part of the familiar landscape and memories of generations of residents. As the area prepares for redevelopment, some of these old buildings may soon disappear and take a piece of Singapore’s built heritage with them. In this video, I take a slow walk around Mei Ling Street to document the blocks, surroundings and everyday details before they are gone. No rush, no narration — just a simple walk, a look back at Singapore’s housing history, and a moment to appreciate places that may not be here forever. If you enjoy Singapore walking tours, old HDB estates, local history and quiet explorations, I hope you’ll enjoy this walk. #Singapore #MeiLingStreet #Queenstown #HDB #SingaporeHistory #OldSingapore #HDBHistory #SingaporeWalkingTour #SingaporeHeritage #PointBlocks #PublicHousing #BeforeItsGone #LiveSimple
