Punggol Zoo
Animal collection in Singapore (1928–1942
About
The Punggol Zoo, formally Singapore Zoological Gardens and Bird Park, was a former animal collection in Singapore from 1928 to 1942. Founded by Singaporean-Indian land owner William Lawrence Soma Basapa, the name comes from the location on a 10-hectare site on Punggol Road, possibly near Sungei Dekar (now called Coney Channel). The zoo persisted until just before the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II.
