In the 1970s, Saturdays were specially because RTS will start to broadcast televsion programmes from the afternoon. I especially looked forward to the afternoon matinee on those days.
Kenneth Williams on one minute or something from BBC at noon!? Radio Request on what day, now I have forgotten & the Top of the Pops, Hit Parade etc on Sunday....00:00 you hear the "Majullah Singapura" the radio station is closed...and there was not that many back then. Brian Richmond, JJ, Chris whatever..Vernon something...on radio! Was it news in brief after 12 in the afternoon, where we get important news announcement... there was no twitter , Facebook, what apps & the internet it was the radio announcement & Redifussion!
One afternoon announcement I will never forget, the place I will never forget, it was at old airport road hawker center, July 20 1973, the radio announced that Bruce Lee had passed away!, there was a great disbelieved by one & all listening to the news, for he was filming "the game of death" then & we thought it was his publicity stunt.
It was like the line from Don Macleans "American Pie", "the day the music died" but this was "the day Bruce Lee died", who can forget the long line for tickets for his movies, from Orchard Cinema all the way down to PUB Building at to the junction of Killiney Road? and Riot Squad had to be called in! Who can forget, we have to go to Queen Street / Ophir Road to take the South Johore Bus to JB to watch the uncensored version of Bruce Lee movies, plus Woodstock & if I could remember Virign Soldier...Orange something..my mind slips me! etc
