Amazing Red Dot Quiz (2) - Where can you see this mountain from Singapore?

My previous quiz on the time capsule was met with enthusiasm by fellow heritage bloggers. All of them got the answer correct by hook or by crook despite a digitally manipulated quiz photo. For quiz 2, I’m changing my strategy. The location will not be in town. I will not manipulate the quiz photo in any manner.

Since starting the blog, I’ve grown to like mountains. Thanks to blog projects like the Roger-Hatchy photo and Peter who keeps on titillating me with images of Mount Pinatubo and lady caddies. No wonder I was wild with ecstasy when the mountain appeared, like Mount Kilimanjaro, in front of me.


Now, ladies and gentlemen, where can you see this mountain from Singapore? The exact location please. Don’t say Bishan when it is in Toa Payoh, for example.

(The answer is now published in another article.)

    Icemoon, shouldn't the question be: "Where can you see this mountain from Singapore?"

    Victor, thanks for the correction.

    I wanted to play with ambiguity, maybe the mountain is Bukit Timah? LOL (yeah right ..)

    It looks like some SAF signals area - towers and camo-green hut in the center. The confusion is the tall bdlg on the left. The white bdlgs look like 1970s design. Jurong Camp?

    The only conclusion I can come up with is that this is facing north as our southern coasts are all built-up.

    I think this photo is taken in NTU. Probably NIE.

    NTU/NIE should see a lot of forest.

    Nope, it is not in the Jurong area.

    Here's a clue - photo taken from HDB flat.

    In that case must be Choa Chu Kang in the direction of Kranji.

    how about Stagmont Ring area or the school of signals @Jalan Tecky Whye or the private condo at KPE?

  14. peterMarch 31, 2009 at 11:44 AM

    maybe provost in Krnaji?

    I think we all buy or chartered a plane and fly around singapore to take areial photos - how about it? I heard expensive bcos a company at Seletar Airport can do it.

    Ok, let me try. There's a golf course just infront. So either looking north across Warren country club or looking north-west across Kranji SAFRA country club.
