kinkonkid (literally) takes a leaf out of a 60-year-old book and blogs about an old, abridged, map of Singapore:

The Chinese title of the map reads, from right to left – ‘An Abridged Map of Singapore City Area’ – 新加坡市区略图。It is a 60 year old map of the city – showing the government buildings and venues that were important & helpful to the travelers from China coming to Singapore.

This map was originally from a booklet of about 16 odd pages that provide information to travelers from China on immigration matters, conditions and way of getting around the city. What is left of this booklet is this map of Singapore that covers the center pages of 8 & 9, and the prints on the back of this map which is marked pages 7 and 10.
