Singapore Middle Road's Colourful Past: European Town To Little Japan | Streets Made For Talking

What was Middle Road really the middle of? Radio DJ Catherine Robert explores her Eurasian roots, and other communities of Bras Basah and Bugis that congregated and expanded around the iconic road.

Why was Middle Road called that, and what was it really in the middle of? Before its cafes and museums, did you know that Bras Basah and Bugis was a school zone? And it’s also home to the oldest pipe organ in Singapore that some refer to as ‘rojak’.

Before Grab and Gojek, who were the rideshare drivers of the past? And how did this area become the go-to place for not only all things transport, as well as the place for the Jewish community to buy their kosher groceries?

Radio DJ Catherine Robert leaves the recording booth and hits the streets to find out how this road was the beacon for life and communities of the Bras Basah and Bugis area.
