The skyline of Singapore has been constantly evolving over the last century. This transformation is most evident in the city skyline of Singapore's financial and business district as it changes almost in tandem with Singapore's rapid growth as one of Asia's financial hubs.

There was no distinct skyline of Singapore at the beginning of the 20^th century. At that time, one of the grandest buildings along Collyer Quay was the elaborate Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. In contrast, inspiring skyscrapers has since been etched distinctly onto the modern skyline with three prominent peaks, namely the OUB Centre, UOB Plaza 1 and Republic Plaza standing impressively at 280 metres each.

In this unique stamp issue that comprises of 3 stamps (1st Local, 60cts and 70cts) of the skyline as well as two special miniature sheets, one with the present city skyline of Singapore ($5) and the other a view of Singapore circa1900 ($1). The two miniature sheets capture beautifully the two vastly different periods in Singapore's history.
