Westinghouse: This was taken from the Aljunied station, as we had taken the SMRT Lunch Express from Bugis which terminated there. The train is the one on the left.

History of the Aljunied family

The Aljunied family and the Alsagoff family were Arab merchants who came to Singapore in 1800's...

They owned the land across the areas in Aljunied, Kallang and Paya Lebar mrt.

We had a large house on the Alsagoff's land (current Paya Lebar mrt station) from 1930's to 1978, the size of 4 basket-ball courts...and we paid $5 per month as rent.
