The 70's Thread - Anything until the Dec 1979.

[Narong Wongwan]

Teachers were very creative meting out punishment...
Pulling ears doing squats etc...
Once I was caught shooting rubber bands at classmates and had to stand infront of the class holding rubberband in a Cupid stance for the entire period.

I used to be slapped, made to stand on my table, write long lines and also got the pencils within fingers treatment.
Took all in my stride. Some kaypoh kampong fellow students tell our parents.
Our parents were happy for the say we deserve it.

Today the situation (Nowadays, kns parents complain and sue teachers) is such. very true.
That is why we get street-corner gang members (school-kids), drug-addicts, glue-sniffers and other juvenile delinquents.

May I correct you, because as a child, I was bornand raised at Telok Blangah, near Jardine Steps (after dinner, my father took my siblings and I there once or twice a week), where there are ferries to Pulau Brani, Pulau Belakang Matia, and the much bigger ferries [any one remember oen of the, Laju] to Pulau Bukom.
Of course, if one missed the ferry, one can take the motorized sampans.

The Laju Ferry Hijack -31 January 1974.
Four armed men with guns and explosives attacked the Shell oil refinery complex on Pulau Bukom.
They were from the Japanese Red Army (JRA) and Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine PFLP).
Their AIM: To prevent oil from Singapore going to other countries, especially South Vietnam.
Laju was surrounded by Police patrol boats.
Negotiations started.
Terrorists demanded a safe passage to Middle-East.
A group led by SR Nathan, then Director Director of Military Security and Intelligence, followed the terrorists to Kuwait aboard Japan Air Lines that flew off from Paya Lebar Airport after midnight. By then the terrorists had already surrendered their weapons to Singapore Police.

That is the SR Nathan, Director SID.
Same SR Nathan, the former President of Singapore.

One of my classmates, after graduating from NUS (SU then) with a B.A. Hons, joined SID, rose up the ranks to a very senior position, and was awarded a Public Administration Silver Medal more than half a dozen years ago.

Do you mean Khoo Boon Hui?

Either that idiot or the more capable Koh Boon Hwee.

I think JC is still with AGC. Very senior chap. Should be a director or maybe even higher in appointment.

The only familar name is Bala "Forever" Reddy. He was once a DJ. Kena him, as an accused, seepay jialak. Very pro-police DJ.

Indeed, there were two padang restaurants; the other was called Tiong Hua. I've tried both and I think I preferred Tiong Hua's food. The Capitol coffee house you referred to was probably Merlin, complete with plastic replica food and a few lao chio waitresses.

I seem to remember that there were two Nasi Padang restaurants side by side. Only Rendevous survived. Can't remember what happened to the other one.

If you wanted a better ambience, there was May Ling Coffee House at Capitol which served a more expensive Wanton Mee that went well with their Bean Curd drink.

By the way, this was incident where the fall-out between Yoong Siew Wah and establishment occurred. He was slighted when his boss, Simon Tay's father picked Nathan and not him to handle the matter. He was virtually shut off.

Seriously was not aware that Tiong Hua was next to the other one or it even existed. i thought there was the usual style Chinese restuarant next to it.

Yes, the more capable one - Koh Boon Hwee. This guy was offered straight cabinet post. In a way the country should be thankful he did not take it up. This guy is quite a mercenary. His company will tender and sure as hell he will arrange for meeting with CEO just before tender closes. All the work will go out the door. Just his status and connection enough to swing things. He product also good and certainly in the zone but the prospect of dealing further with the annointed one is good enough.

Either that idiot or the more capable Koh Boon Hwee.

David Chong who is an SC and Sr State Counsel and involved in the case with Ravi is the type of guy all Nonya mothers pray and hope that they daughters can hook. His speak with the ladies and the langauge is wonderful. You should see all the Nonya ladies. Really decent, honest and handsome chap.
