STOMPer kk1001 collects heritage postcards which depicts historical Singapore and he thinks that this place would have most Singaporeans stumped. Can you guess where this was?

It is Singapore's famous shopping district, Orchard Road, and the STOMPer even took a recent photograph of the place for comparison.

The STOMPer wrote:

"I collected three postcards depicting Orchard Road in the past (in 1895, 1914 and 1922) and recently, I took a photo of today's orchard road

"I would like to share what I have here with all STOMPers."

maks, what makes you think there were no floods in orchard during that period of time?


Shouldn't you ay least post some evidence like records rather than a few photos showing a sunny day in orchard 100 days ago and make up such a conclusion?

I mean i could go to orchard today which is a sunny day and take a photo and write orchard rd has no floods.
