The four HDB blocks in Siglap are going to be demolish. Joo Chiat is going to become Singapore’s only all-private-property constituency/ward.

I sometimes makan at the yong tau foo stall across the road from the Siglap flats.

The Yomg Tau Foo no more but the Empty flats are Still there me thinks.

Not very far from Siglap, Lorong G & Lorong H, Telok Kurau and Thiam Siew Ave off Tanjong Katong were very popular red-light lorongs in the 60's.

LKY went to primary school at Lorong J, Telok Kurau.

The current Parkway Hospital at Joo Chiat Place was the Paglar clinic owned and operated by a very prominent gynecologist Dr Paglar.

Tribute to Susan Lim:


[video=youtube;2ZV_4YPyV0Q]

Susan's departure from this world was sudden and untimely.

Listening to her songs brings back lots of fond memories.

Thank you Susan for the lovely memories and your spirit lives on and on.

I think Teresa Khoo was a bigger draw in those days. She is one of the Khoo entertainment family, and sister of Victor Khoo. Her band, the Blue Belles came in 3rd in 1960 Battle of the Bands contest. They were a popular club act.

If I recall, Sinpopo bar was right on Tanjong Katong road and on the same side of the street as Tanjong Katong Technical School. Not too far from that school

Don't understand your point about article being not accurate....are you disputing the the type of aircraft that crashed or something else? Article has nothing to do with speed of aircraft but the gist of story is a plane crashed in Upper East Coast Road

Me nephew said it was a twin engine RAF Hornd jet.

It was East Coast Rd.,
not Upper E.C.Rd.
