Time Capsules are a repository of items or information stashed away in a secret place, but with much hype. They are supposed to act as a form of communication with the future generation. The phrase "time capsule" in vogue only in about 1937 but the idea is pretty old and dates back to the ancient civilization in Mesopotamia.
Time Capsule Singapore is kept within a structure that closely resembles a pyramid by the side of the Singapore River. Considering the architecture of the buildings that surround the place and the sedate looking structures that are reminiscent of the colonial days, the Time Capsule is quite a departure. Time Capsule Singapore is an assemblage of some significant items that trace the years of Singapore's sovereignty. The mementos are a throwback of the events that shaped the evolution and growth of Singapore. The capsule was sealed by Mr. Yeo Cheow Tong, Minister for Communications and Information Technology on December 31st, 1999. The Time Capsule Singapore is scheduled to be revealed in 2050. It is an acknowledgement of the achievements of human endeavor, a hope for the future and a renewed commitment.
