Pasar Malams in old Singapore allows citizens to buy cheap food cheap goods in the roadside stalls ..... now Pasar Malams in new Singapore skin and chop citizens and FTs carrotheads with expensive food and low ses items at higher prices in the brightly decorated stalls ..... this is "evolution".

The only constant is change. Even LKY conceded that the sacrificial days of the Old Guard are over, and the ministers who would come after him would only serve for a king's ransom. He used it as an excuse to give himself a hefty pay hike at that time as well.

I wonder if Old Fart Lee took the money with him to wherever he went.
Maybe living in a grand castle now

the new garment made sure sinkees are crowded out so they can make space for the world's rich and famous

S'pore would be far more liveable with 3 million residents.

PAP has destroyed the tranquility this island had long ago.

Simi lancheow sacrificial days of the Old Guard? The old guard was stealing money just like the new group of PAP crooks. Old Fart forgot to mention Lee and Lee was given default conveyancing lawyer for HDB? How many billions his wife made from it? He also forgot he and Pinky, and their relatives all demanded discount from OBS for Nassim Jade condos? He forgot Teh Cheang Wan? He was already giving himself hefty pay.

He speaks excellent English. Passed away in 2019 at the age of 87.

Is he standing at the Cecil street/Market street multi-storey carpark? We used to just call it the multi-storey carpark because it was the only one.

I agree 3-4 million would have been the best.

It is inhumane to squeeze 6 million people into a tiny island living cheek by jowl in the HDB heartlands. Even farm animals will go crazy living in such crammed conditions.

We are no better than cockroaches who may be stamped on by the MIW if we cross them.

Who wants a high standard of living with so high cost living, stress and unhappiness?

I rather our country remains as in 70s and 80s, no CECA Indians, everybody living happily, harmoniously and loves the government whole heartedly.

I say the 1980s were the best
Not too ancient or too modern

And the wonton mee, char kway teow, mee rebus, chee kway, Muthu curry, hokkien mee and hor fun still tasted good

lol

As the video begins, it's as though I've stepped into a time machine, whisked away to a cherished era I've wandered through countless times in my dreams. The swaying coconut trees, the quaint shop houses, the boy pedaling his bicycle, and the vintage buses and cars—they paint a picture of my Singapore, a place of timeless beauty and nostalgia. Oh, how enchanting it is!

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I was in Pri 5 in 1967. I still recognise the streets and many of the buildings, though many no longer exist. This nostalgic moment made me shed a tear.

Why no fishing village and orang Asli?
They should be around according to 李公传 our founding storlee

 

[k1976]

Now like sai with 3rd world visitors poo & pee at will.

Nobody shit at the place he eats and sleep, u know?
