He is the first individual to be Senior DS. I would respectfully submit that they should give him "face" as a former CP, and promote him to 2PS. What is the difference in superscale, if any, but rather insignificant.

OK, now I recalled the name of the Batam station. It's called Zoo 101.6.
And the presenter was one "Julie Peacock"
yes br kohliantye
opposite the rubber factory is :Green Bus terminal at corner of king albert park and opposite it is a cemetry now Ngee Ann poly stadium.Still remember workers from the rubber factory camp in factory compound during strike.Next to the factory was acommunity centre with a big field ,The Tai Tian Kue circus used to perform there for aweek or two.Same row was a polyclinc,police station and post office.
Thanks Ablekid for that update.
Yes that revolving Green Spot bottle separated from the main road by a canal.
Bro, my memories continue to linger and revolve in the area close to Bukit Timah Plaza and Beauty World because when I was young, my parents would bring us by a Tay Koh Yat Bus from Bartley Road to these place.
It was then a huge rubber smoke-house and we would visit some relatives who were employed by these rich towkay.
They were given quarters inside. Most of these people were employed to wash the sheets of rubber before they were hung in the smoke-house to be dried.
A common stench used to emanate from these place.
There were lots of fruit trees.
The watchman of the premises, a turbanned Sikh had a beautiful daughter (slightly older then us).
She spoke good Hokkien and would bring us to the Bukit Timah Hill behind the factory.
It was then known as Jalan Anak Bukit. I cannot forget the sound of cicadas and the chatter of that beautiful sharp-featured lass.
She was later married to a supervisor of the company.[/QUOTE]

Talking about rubber smoke house, I could still smell the pungent smell of smoked rubber sheets, the smell of latex...the site of Thomson Plaza, was a rubber smoke house & if I am not mistaken just opposite transit road where the Nee Soon Camp was or is? was another!
I used to bring rubber seeds to school & rub them on the floor & press it against the arm of another person, it will be hot & give you a jolt!.

Watched Foodage Just now
It's nice to watch something of the past era. A historical record of what our forefathers did in the past. Wang computer ! This guy worked for Wang ? Lunch at Goodwood Hotel was considered posh ? In the end, Wang also up lorry, rite ? They were really hungry back then.

Re: Watched Foodage Just now
I miss live poultry sold at wet markets. Back then, the wet markets were really 'wet'. Waterproof footwear is recommended if you're going there.
Nowadays, most wet markets are nothing more than non-air con supermarkets, minus the groceries, beverages and household items.

I adored the two "Teenage" books, and they both coincided with that time in my life just after O levels, 3 mth JC probation, panicking over O level results, going separate ways with old schoolmates and and having actual friends and loves from the opposite sex.
It is so telling who here in this thread is about the same age as I am. Guess we all have to grow up too, sometime.
Sadly, Adrian Lim grew up too, from the young immature idealist that he was into a suit-and-tie lawyer.
