Reflections

This ACE assignment has given me more insights to our pioneers of Singapore. Without doing this ACE assignment, I would not have known who Whampoa Hoo Ah Kay was, neither will I know about his life and contributions to Singapore, or even why a road was named after him. Even though I long knew of Whampoa road, I never gave a further thought about how it derived its name or about the history of the road. Hence, I learnt more about him throughout the whole assignment.



I had also improved my data collecting skills as I had to browse through many websites before I can 'hit the jackpot' and find out information on him. Many websites gave little information, too much information or irrelevant details about his life.



Overall, I fined this project alright as it let me in on the vibrant history of Singapore and its forefathers and how they worked to achieve a modern day Singapore.
