(2011)(film) Railway station shops ... (Tanjong Pagar)

(2011)(film) Book shop, money changer and Railway Food station / canteen. 3154_03 (2) #thesgheritagetrailsonfilm

 

Upon arriving in main hall, the first thing that many encounter was Habib Railway Book Store and Money Changer. These businesses were part of the station scenery since 1936.

 

Many regular passengers would have used the services of the money changer. Opened in 1936, the shop was where Mohd Seeni, a proprietor, used to work before taking over in 1958. He was the longest serving staff in the station.

 

The station canteen, renowned for its tasty and affordable food, had been established since 1984 by the Hasan brothers.
