Again thanks for posting...I was in Singapore January and February 1989 and not since, I look at this video at this time every year to get my mind off the snow here
Video cam is a expensive hobby back then and required video tapes. Thanks for capturing these rare videos at a age where handphone with videos features do not exist yet.
Hello Crick Nigel! Thank you for documenting this era and also posting it so that it is not lost in time. Would this footage be available for documentary use?
This is so cool! Didn't expect the tour of UWCSEA. It's barely recognisable today. I can still smell the water from that fountain (which is now the Tent Plaza).
The time still no gadgets,internet etc.... People love to see to have quality talk to each other while eating,drinking or even while walking. But now is totally different,95% people always keep busy using their gadgets.
I was a primary 5 student in parry school at that year...still remember during that time no iPhone or Android phone only public phones using coins or phone card buses have no air-conditioning I think is 25cents for child fare.
This is the Singapore that I miss. No brain-dead, self-absorbed sheeple staring at their phones watching drama series or playing games while carelessly walking around in crowded public places. Geezus! Look up, stay alert and smile!
I was in my Ns in1989.. people are more friendly, Approachable and simple. Compared it to the people now, they are very self-centered, snobbish and money-minded, complaining a lot. SG has become a very annoying place to stay nowadays. Children are screaming very loud from day to night, couples are quarrelling, screaming and yelling.,whats wrong with SG now.
