I was Chomp Chomp regular at weekends in schooldays when I stayed over at my classmate's bungalow at St. Helier. But haven't been there for a long time since.

Why named "Ang Sali"? Anyone nows
They used red coloured zinc roof for their bouses, that was why it was called 'ang sali'. This was way, way, before our time, way before the houses at Serangoon Gardens was built.
Been a long time since I've been to Farrer or River Valey
Notice that the pool at Farrer Park is still open but is the one at River Valley still open
Read that Yan Kit ia now history:( Actually I liked the swimming pool at Mt Emily but anyone know if it is still openThen you must be old enough to remember the old Kallang airport before Paya Lebar opened :o

If you had been there in 1968 you would surely remember the gunning down of the Notorious Gunmen, Lau Ngut Fong by Police.
It happened early in the morning.
The gunman also threw a few grenades which landed in the longkang close to the police.
Fortunately, the grenades were not primed and as such did not explode.
Do you remember Jalan Teck Kee, next to Plantation Avenue that led to a rubber plantation towards Lorong Chuan.?

Yes sir. I visit the said location more often the past few months compared to younger days. Bring charbor saboke there after 3am.
I was very young then & so have only hazy memories of that place as an airport
My memories of kallang are more about how that place was used to hold exhibitions, Wonderland Amusement Park, Kallang Roar,...
It's sad that older Sporeans must look to the past for their happier memories. Even LKY is always looking to the past

hahaha.....Seasons Greetings to everyone....
ang sali refers to Serangoon Gradens Estate.
I stand corrected on how it got the name......it is not direct translation from hokkien as suggested.
the name came about because of the red color of the roof tiles of the landed houses and not because of zinc roof coated with red primer.
Chia Keng (confirmed), the area around YCK road; landmark is the row of shop; prominent one is the Crab Party restaurant. I lived in the kampong where the swimming pool is located now.
There was a rambutan plantation (Confirmed) in Plantation Ave.
(I plcked rambutan there as a boy)
There was also a rambutan plantation (confirmed) in Charlton estate area.
(I attended Arrozoo Primary School)
