This is a classic record of our history from the film industry.
Many scenes bring nostalgic sentiments.

This looks like a real economy, which has since disappeared after 50 years of a single Familee's despotic rule!

To me, it shows two things:
  • More importantly, Singapore was not a dump festering with all manner of diseases which was rescued single-handedly by the PAPzis. It already had a solid infrastructure and a society which worked. For sure, by the time the PAPzis came along, a lot of that infrastructure was degraded BUT they did not build Singapore from scratch as they often would have us believe.
  • I notice a lot more policing indicating a willingness to put boots on the ground the maintain law and order. Now they want to do everything by remote-control and trying to find a cop when you need one is very difficult.

This is a classic record of our history from the film industry.

How well did the old scum bag white wash you? You need to wipe off LKY's cum from your eyes first before you watch the video again.

The Indians seemed to have made significant contribution to Singapore's progress and stability. These Indians seem to do the same to this day - so FTs and migrant workers is not something new.

So much progress has since happens. Without the PAP government, Singapore would not transform itself to what it is today. Right thinking men know how to appreciate this.

Just look at the bumboat-choked Singapore River. Do you still find that romantic or the millions of containers at Port of Singapore at Tanjong Pagar in pragmatic modern Singapore?

this one can minimize, if not go....remember those brought back memories of our coolie ancestors....they tell us of our roots....help us to make us strong as a nation....they are all gone...now our NS boys are so guniangs..

what do you think of those historical buildings?

so artistically designed..like our National Theater...

sure beats the durians anytime..

they are all gone, we lost our history...our memories....especially those who park tor...around those places before..

all gone!! in developed countries, alot of historical buildings are preserved, unlike SGP.

because they are the soul of the country's growth..

Do note that Singapore in 1838 was clean, green, organised, busy lively etc long before fucking old man's grandfather left Indonesia for Singapore.
