Meet the couple who quit banking and finance to run tours of Singapore’s abandoned places

0 comments

Hidden Heritage has successfully scaled its niche business of exploring abandoned places in Singapore, now conducting 20 tours per month.

The venture takes participants to various historical and neglected sites, including the one-room rental estates of Lavender and the former Shell Lubricant Blending Plant.

The company has expanded its clientele to include organizations and schools, offering consultancy services, corporate retreats, and learning journeys.

The Growth of Hidden Heritage

Founder Stanley Cheah, 27, said the transition to a full-time income from exploring abandoned locations was a possibility he had never previously imagined.

Cheah and his partner, Cheong, met after Cheong discovered Cheah’s Instagram account in 2020, which featured documentation of abandoned sites across the city-state.

The couple married three years later, holding an all-black goth wedding at a former Shell lubrication plant.
