- Geylang
and Katong District
Once a
lemon plantation, Geylang is the traditional
domain of the Muslim population of Singapore:
Malay, Indonesian and Arab communities all live
here. A visit to Geylang and its many lanes where
market trading continues to thrive can still
evoke the atmosphere of old Singapore. Here, shop
sell gems from Burma, spices, cotton and gold
from India and rattan products from Indonesia,
while the musky scent of Arabian perfume hangs in
the air.
