A bit of nostalgia has disappeared from Singapore's harbour. Even Capitold cinema and Shaws building had to make place for the modern age. A film by Ronni Pinsler.

@michaelijsbrand 11 лет назад

Thanks. If you wish to see more of old Singapore search YT with 'michael rogge singapore'

MichaelRogge Love your work mate!! U captured history & the demolished past ❤️

These video's are really impressive. 480p and image stabilizer is unthinkable for the 80s where most people would take a picture and call it enough.

@nadrini300 2 года назад

Watching these videos make me nostalgic to a life I never lived. Thanks for sharing these wonderful videos, Mr. Rogge!

This is really something that bring back all past memories of Clark quay Singapore. The old block of 1 room flat had transformed into beautiful Central shopping mall and also Swiss hotel merchant court. It has long gone. I born in 1975 and stay right opposite Clark quay in 1 room flat which right now still stand still along Chin Swee road. Thanks Michael!!!

You have the best videos of old singapore ,. thank you Michael Rogge.

@sombrance 9 лет назад

Thank you. These are beautiful. Being born in 1989, I missed the chance to experience how life was before things progressed. I learnt a lot about my country from this footage.

The boat quay of Singapore was my familiar place as I used to frequent it and especially when I was assigned to tally the missing rubber bale from the consignment from Sarawak to Singapore in 1980

@shangnui 11 лет назад

Thank You for this, bring back the faded memories of yesterday. How beautiful was it then. I am a few lucky one still staying nearby.

@uspiiiireturn4018 8 лет назад

👍 thank you. Boat quay I remember as a smelly place. It had a strong stench near those boats and my father likes to bring us there for teochew porridge lunch.

@jooave 11 лет назад

@peterpan295 4 года назад

Thank you Michael Rogge for sharing these vintage scenes of Singapore. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@zllikevin 11 лет назад

there should be a cinematic museum to preserve this sort of cultural heritage

@beutuoy1 12 лет назад

Michael, thanks for these old clips of Singapore. Much appreciated.

5:39 - Didn't realize ATM screen used Cantonese at that time (請放入咭) That was also around the time when Cantonese and other Chinese dialects were banned from TV

@obiwan88 2 года назад

Ironical we have to see this footage from an Ang Mor, back then civil service too poor or just not bothered to record this part of Sinky history. Heartfelt thanks to Mr. Rogge for his vision, we are in your collective debt.

@holguacamol8408 5 лет назад

Love your footage, thanks for having done this!

@sohfihamid4164 4 года назад

@CrosbyStill 3 года назад

Thks Michael for the wonderful memories! Hope you are doing well today!

@nativetexanful 6 лет назад

That's really sad how they demolished that historic area. Part of their heritage gone forever.

@rudolffabrie3233 5 лет назад

nativetexanful. Historic area??? Old rubbish you mean!

@jimk1899 5 лет назад

The buildings were extremely old and many were, in fact, crumbling, posing much danger to dwellers and passers-by alike. I should know, I grew up in the late-60's/early-70's often following my parents to visit old friends and relatives many of whom lived in such places. My own parents, in fact, lived in similar conditions in the Bugis Street / Victoria Street areas. It was unfortunate, but a 'necessary evil'. Having said this, significant swathes of these 'old city' area were preserved and renovated for modern commercial purposes in the Chinatown, Telok Ayer, Little India, Duxton Plain (Tanjong Pagar), North Bridge Road, South Bridge Road, and Arab Street vicinities. So, not all have been lost.

@ResidentNotEvil5 11 лет назад

my grandfather rented office at boat quay early 1985 wow really bring back memories.

@CausewayJam 12 лет назад

Dear Michael, did you film this yourself? I find the juxtaposition of shophouses against the 'modern' high-rises intriguing, especially the slow panning upwards of the high-rise housing block.

@tankenneth9915 5 лет назад

Teochew street at 2:00 Brings back alot of childhood memories to me.

@farrahkong1998 5 лет назад

@5:44 seems like the open office concept went back way in time. Amazing footage!

@jont2576 4 года назад

@MojoDevirus Год назад

Outstanding vid. Thanks for the memories.

@thinkpadx60 12 лет назад

Thank you again.

@blueutopia88 5 лет назад

Very interesting though the title is a bit of a misnomer since you covered areas in Bugis and Little India as well. Two observations - at that time, who decided which shophouses to demolish and which to conserve (and now raking in its owners millions)? Also, why was the Teochew St HDB blocks demolished after just 20 odd years? (Since Clarke quay central was completed in 2007, these blocks would have been demolished by the early 2000s)

Your point being? Or are you one of those that like to find bones in an egg?

at 0:20 mark, it's Ardmore Park (foreground) and Draycott Park in background. But they are at Anderson Road, far from Boat Quay.

@hkchrism 12 лет назад

This is really well shot. Shows the oppressive ugliness of much of the new.

@jimk1899 5 лет назад

Wait till you get inside one of these dwellings to experience the oppressive ugliness of the old. I've seen it all in my youth. It's not pleasant, I assure you. Give me the oppressive ugliness of the new any day; I'll take it!

@FARID1870 5 лет назад

still remembered the huge basement and gaping hole in the ground when Raffles City was built back then. priceless footage. anyway it is demolition, not demolishment. 😊

@jimk1899 5 лет назад

Demolishment is legit. Archaic, but legit still.

@cathysherwood 10 лет назад

Progress, how sad but guessed with an over growing population, the old has to make way for the new. Hope it does not come to that of HK , where the density is crippling in terms of space. Ta

At 0:15 mark, is that Draycott Park in the background?

@malaysiadentist4637 5 лет назад

They were playing Checkers (Br Eng) aka Draughts (Am Eng) or popularly known as “Dum” in Singapore.

Fortunately you shoot all these places especially Lavender river side. I miss this Lavender River old style view. If you have Joo Chiat Terrace do update me. I come from Joo Chait Terrace i been looking for Joo Chiat Terrace Vedio & Pictures.
