19. What is the history behind Singapore Crocodile Farm, and when was it established?


Singapore Crocodile Farm, also known as Singapore Crocodilarium, is believed to be the first and oldest crocodile farm in Singapore. It was established in 1945 by a local businessman, Lee Teck Wah. However, the history of crocodiles in Singapore dates back to the early 20th century.

In the 1920s, there were reports of crocodile sightings near the Kallang River and along the coast of Singapore. These sightings were often accompanied by attacks on local fishermen and villagers living near the water bodies. As a result, many people feared for their safety and demanded that something be done about these reptiles.

In response, the government implemented various measures such as offering rewards for capturing crocodiles and organizing culling efforts to reduce their numbers. However, these methods were not effective in controlling the population of crocodiles.

It was not until Lee Teck Wah decided to start a crocodile farm that the issue was finally resolved. He saw an opportunity to turn this problem into a profitable business by breeding and raising crocodiles for their leather and meat. He obtained a piece of land in the eastern part of Singapore which had several ponds connected to Sungei Tampines (Tampines River), where he could house and raise his crocodiles.

The farm quickly gained popularity among locals and tourists alike as it offered visitors a rare chance to see these fascinating creatures up close. It also became a popular educational spot for schools and families, with its informative exhibits on crocodile habits and habitats.

Despite being one of Singapore’s top tourist attractions during its peak years in the 1980s and 1990s, the farm faced financial difficulties due to competition from other nature parks such as Jurong Bird Park and Night Safari. In 2012, it closed down temporarily but has since reopened under new management.

Today, Singapore Crocodile Farm remains a popular tourist spot and continues to attract visitors with its crocodile shows, guided tours, and educational programs.
