Internepcon/Semiconductor International '84 Singapore

Abstract

With Singapore's multi‐racial heritage and colourful history making it such a fascinating place to explore, its choice by Cahners as a venue for this biennial exhibition is a fortunate one in terms of interest and enjoyment for the overseas exhibitor or visitor — providing, that is, one's business schedule does not preclude a little time for soaking up the atmosphere of this cosmopolitan metropolis. On arrival, one is struck first by the lush tropical surroundings so close to the commercial heart of the city, with the glittering facades of its shopping centres, its modern high‐rise offices and apartments, and then by the intriguing blend of races and cultures, and the variety of architecture and traditions found in the small pockets that remain of old Singapore — traces of its British colonial past, its unique Straits‐born Chinese heritage, the Arab Muslim traders who arrived in the 13th century, and the migrant settlers from India and the nearby Malay archipelago.
