In the 70s, ang mo sailors got beaten up badly by us at Orchard Rd carpark and Tivoli coffeehouse. Size matters. But courage more important. If need be, use weapons. Always strike first.
Sembawang opposite the Admiralty Road entrance to Sembawang Port.
A place called Sembawang Patio affectionately known as "Virgins Corner". However all call-girls here were past 50's.
To the drunk and carefree American sailors this was "manna from heaven".
They had come to Singapore on the R&R from a brutal Vietnam War.
Used to cause trouble in the many bars close-by.
Men in blue will attend as a "Team" led by a very effective supervisor armed with wicker-shields.
At the command of "Serang" all hell break loose and whoever the sailor, tall or short, finds himself pinned to the ground.
So effective was these Team that they were begged by the American Shore Patrol Officers to assist them sometimes.
Togather we can stand. Never say that we will always kow-tow to people.
