Singapore 76 - Yishun, Khatib
The history of Yishun can be traced back to the mid 19th century when gambier and pepper plantations flourished along the Seletar River. These plantations, which were mostly owned by Teochew immigrants, were replaced by more profitable pineapple and rubber estates at the end of the 19th century. Amongst local entrepreneurs who dominated the rubber industry was Lim Nee Soon, from whom the area later derived its name. From post-World War II to the 1960s, most of the farmlands in Yishun area were devoted to mixed farming, in particular a combination of horticulture, poultry and livestock breeding. Fishery production activity could also be found near the three rivers of Sungei Simpang, Sungei Khatib Bongsu and Sungei Seletar. Yishun continued to be a rural area in the 1970s until it was developed as a satellite town in early 1980s.
