In this National Day special, nostalgia lovin’ Irene Ang walks us through her favourite spots in Singapore
Saying goodbye to old spaces
Disappearing places strike a chord with Ang. “I’m sad that many iconic places are gone. Though I understand [Singapore is small and] that we’re short on space, I feel they should preserve one or two of these historic buildings for memory’s sake.”

If Ang could have her way, she would insist on “closing-down” tours. “One day, I drove by and realised Queenstown Prison was gone! How come nobody tell me? [sic] I would have wanted a peek. They should allow the public to visit these buildings or spaces before they are torn down.”
Irene Ang is the executive producer of My Love, Sinema. It is scheduled for release on 8 Sept.
