Re: More Locals = More PAP Voters ?.

The 60% are predominantly based in the West. :rolleyes:

spot on...based on the close fights in the east and the collapse of the GRC...and the overwhelming MIW support in the west....the wester-ners deserve their foul air!

Yes. It broke his heart when it was repossessed. It was his heaven. He too was an East Coast boy like you and lived at Chapel Road. He used to have open house on weekends for all his friends and they were of all races. Howard Cashin had beautiful sea side bungalow at Lim Chu Kang end. Very serene in the mornings. All gone.

Bro Scroo, is it true that the late David Marshall used to own a sea side bungalow at Changi?

The East has been designated as middle class residential during the British days and the rich who had houses in Alexandra all the way to Holland village also had beach side properties along the East Coast. One of the biggest plot of private land housed a single bungalow with a number of out houses for servants and it belonged to OCBC Lee clan. You can still see it in Google map. The sultan had a huge spread next to St Patricks School. The Eurasians who were 2nd in stature to the AngMos during colonial days were not allowed in Alexandra/holland stretch and found home in the East. By the way Alex/Holland also includes Orchard Rd.

The West was predominently farmlands. Anything west of SGH were holdings with pigs and poultry.

There was old saying in my days. Golden Katong, silver Tanglin, Katong house, Tanglin wealth. Run road run Jurong.
