Seton Close, Singapore

Seton Close, Singapore (2 August 2017)


Seton Close is a minor road in the Tanglin planning area of Singapore. It is accessed from Tanglin Road. Seton Close has a few government-built bungalows which are recognized for their architectural style. Some of these residential houses are today occupied by embassies and diplomats.

Seton Close was named after Frederick Seton James (1870-1934), the Colonial Secretary (1916-1924) and Food Controller (Dec 1918 to May 1919) for Malaya. In his capacity as food controller, he went all over Malaya urging its citizens of various races to be self supporting in food production. Following the departure of Sir Arthur Young, Seton was again appointed Colonial Secretary before being transferred to be Governor of Windward Islands, a position he held from 1924 to his retirement in 1930.¹

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
