In 2016, SLA celebrated our 15^th anniversary with a number of initiatives. SLA’s 15^th anniversary logo and the SLA15 employee microsite, which details SLA’s development over 15 years, were launched at the start of 2016. From 1 May to 12 June 2016, SLA organised our first-ever photography contest, “Celebrating Places and Memories”. The contest attracted 650 entries and raised awareness of the historical value and heritage of State properties. SLA also partnered The Straits Times, The Business Times and Lianhe ZaoBao on a series of special-feature articles that were published between 1 June and 15 August 2016. The series covered SLA’s key milestones, innovations and public outreach efforts for the past 15 years, helping the public better understand the role of SLA in national development.

 

SHARING THE HERITAGE OF BLACK-AND-WHITE HOUSES

SLA manages about 500 black-and-white houses located in various parts of Singapore. These include central areas like Scotts Road, Goodwood Hill and Bukit Timah, as well as more rustic areas like Alexandra Park, Sembawang, Malcolm Park, Changi and Seletar. A commemorative book has been developed to document the unique living experiences of our tenants within these century-old heritage State properties.
