Step into late‑1980s Singapore: sunlit civic architecture, busy anchorage, and the clean lines of the Victoria Memorial Hall clock tower rising above the waterfront. Ships stud the blue water while the colonial‑era civic district sits in crisp white, a scene that evokes the humidity, harbour sounds and energy of a city in transformation.

Published by NBC Post Cards Singapore PTE LTD, this colour postcard carries the printed caption “Victoria Memorial Hall with Singapore’s busy harbour in the background.” It was written and mailed to Great Britain with Singapore postage and a clear 20 November 1989 cancellation. Standard size, approx. 5¾ x 4 in (about 14.6 x 10.2 cm). Light wear at the corners consistent with careful handling.

For collectors, this piece embodies the value of preserving everyday records of place and time. Holding it is to keep a small, authentic fragment of Singapore’s late‑20th‑century urban story — a reminder that paper ephemera connects us to lived journeys, correspondence, and memory.
