	Seletar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seletar commonly refers to the areas south of Yishun and west of Sungei Punggol, covering Yio Chu Kang near Jalan Kayu (where there is Seletar Road), the Lower Seletar Reservoir and part of Upper Thomson (which is near to the Upper Seletar Reservoir).
		The Malay word seletar refers to the aboriginal coastal dwellers (orang laut) called orang seletar, who lived along the mangrove creeks of the Johor Straits and especially at the mouth of the Seletar River (which has since been dammed up to form the Lower Seletar Reservoir), hence the river's name.
		Seletar was the first Royal Air Force base east of India and the first civilian airport in Singapore.

	Seletar: Crowning Glory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The need for an RAF presence in Singapore was first suggested back in 1921, only three years after the birth of the service, but it was 1928 before the base opened for business.
		This story is also, in some ways, the history of Singapore, for as Seletar was the only airfield on the island during the golden age of flying, it played host to the likes of Kingsford-Smith, Amy Johnson, record breakers, film stars, princes and kings and later, in the dark days of war, the Japanese Navy.
		For anyone who served in Singapore – and Seletar in particular, in whatever capacity – this book is a must-read, but it is not intended to be a history of dry facts and figures, it is an adventure story in words and pictures.
