Old Singapore 1951. Cathay/Oriental theatres 

Ricky, you are so right there, wages were low, despite a lower cost of living, education was reasonable in costs, today, like the rest of the world, Singapore is a VERY EXPENSIVE country to live in, also I find that the ;Free for all with Russians and PRC people shoving their way around, especially economically, I am glad I saw it when it was at its greatest.

No COE ERP GST

Sadly all those in the video are probably gone.....but what great memories

Yes, what is given purely will always return manyfold

Your grandma lived in Killiney Road? Address? I grew up at 113 Killiney Road. The third shop house before Lloyd Road.

@@hussainbinshamsuddin9488 Thanks for your comment, Hussain. My grandparents lived at 129 Killiney Road. Grandpa was a Chinese physician and operated a medical clinic opposite the present Post Office.

@@noituacchoo I know the shop. 129 is exactly where Fairprice supermarket is today. It was a nice place before and still is a nice place although the residents there today are all different. Cheers!

Now we have people who think that the dot Indians have on their foreheads are sniper targets

controllerism. those days things r cheap , more relaxing,now the strongest survives.

SO SAD!!!

I spent most of my younger years on the Island of Singapore, `1955 thru to the end of the seventies, then every two years on Holiday, to me the People were the best,friendly interesting,gracious, sadly today, they live under great pressures and housing costs almost all they earn, such a shame however, the past of this amazing island was amazing,thanks to Lee Kuan Yew who ruled from the late fifties until his death some three years ago, today, the people appear to be robotic, fewer smiles although still well mannered and welcoming.Singapore has grown tremendously, it clearly is more successful in operational, economic and political terms than ANY of the European nations. Australia could certainly learn from its governance along with Britain (former colonials)I must add however that the YOUNGER people of Singapore are quite different from those of yesteryear, almost robotic in fact.

The cameraman paid 10$ to each of them? Haha

This was before we had a "Indian cannot become PM" government

Malay era

Antiq_2: During the 1940 period, the world was at War. in 1942 The Japanese bombed and took over Singapore, thanks to the rank stupidity of the then Colonial British Control whose idiots spent their time swilling Gin at the Raffles Hotel opposite Beach road.Color film had been developed YES, but with a war on then it was hardly a time to be thinking about taking pretty photo's on Kodachrome film! Read up some history chum.

I would say in all fairness, the culprit is simply the entire social changes brought about by an economy which is obsessed with money.GREED is the problem.

@@terryofford4977 I disagree. The culprit is the ever meddling and manipulating PAP government
