A sign here said: "
Known to ancient Chinese mariners as Lung Ya Men - The Dragon Teeth Gate - The present date Keppel Harbour was once a sheltered passage connecting East and West Asia.
After a long hibernation, this custodian of Lung Ya Men has arisen to greet a new and prosperous Singapore on its doorsteps - in itself an economic dragon of the east"
