Ah Gong knows Singapore better than the Brits. If Ah Gong said Singapore was a fishing village back in the 1950s, it means Singapore was a fishing village.

what the scums say will be law
scums can say an indian is actually a m&d , when the situation calls for it
scums can say a circle is a square , to fit their purpose.

Based on what I saw in the video it certainly looks like a fishing village to me.

2nd that. majority of the island was still a jungle and the coastal areas were mostly fishing villages. only a small tiny spot in the middle south were developed by the british for their own colonial and administrative use.

You are spot on. The buildings in the downtown area were mainly reserved for Ang Mohs. Only sinkies that worked in lowly jobs like toilet cleaners were allowed in to the premises.

If Ah Gong says something is true, it must be true.

Ah Gong knows Singapore better than the Brits. If Ah Gong said Singapore was a fishing village back in the 1950s, it means Singapore was a fishing village.

Ah Gong says his eldest son is the best talent to lead Singapore, everyone agrees too.

Singapore was one of Great Britain's most valuable possessions in the Far East back then. it was of course no fishing village. if it was so then it was one of the best fishing village.

at 4:09 of the video, the narrator said..."at a moment's walk from such luxury (from raffles hotel), there's a new world, albeit ancient world. all around this island fishermen stand in the warm sea casting their nets...." - proof that sg was surrounded by fishing villages even though ang mohs luxuriated in the downtown area built up with roman structures, corinthian columns, victorian hotels, british roads, french esplanades, dutch canals, english bridges. only slums were allowed to line up along the sg river as coolies and lowly laborers were needed to load rubber and unload supplies at the dirty docks. the elite section of downtown from victoria hall, padang, cricket club, city hall, elizabeth walk or promenade to raffles hotel was predominantly an ang moh haven. there might have been signs that warned "no chink nor dog" in that area.

Hong Kong the same. Just a small portion developed leaving the rest in greenery.

I can confirm that Singapore used to be a fishing village. Whenever I went to the seaside I used to see people fishing and when I looked around me all I saw was villages.
