ahh...sounds like you are a very experienced and avid cinema goer and had seen through the rapid cinematic growth in the 1980s. You must have a wealth of experience in terms of the types of cinemas in SG and the types of movies shown in SG

tink still screening Tamil or Hindu movies.
.
i dare not go there.

.

That's what I thot too. It caters to the weekend crowd at Little India . I wonder whether it is an independent cinema or belongs to a chain like GV.

I believe that in the early years there were three major chains, Shaw, Cathay and Eng Wah. If I am not wrong, it was Eng Wah boss's daughter who brought in Crazy Horse Show. She trusted and believed PAP that it's opening up the entertainment scene and lost big money in that venture. Got her hand bitten by the pap

If those existed, there should also be a Eunuch and Jester Cinema.

I think Kings, Queens, Prince and Princess cinemas existed.

The older and more experienced movie goers can confirm

Sounds like we were in Imperial Court.

 

[TracyTan866]

The jester cinema shows "The Mask Of Zorro" all year round.

Yes, PAP is the Jester Court and shows the Joker LSS everyday. The 80 PAP MPs are the Eunuchs

Kallang Park, it's a place for tak chek kia, all go there to 诗歌朗诵 one... :p:p:p

What did Octagon provide?

 

[TracyTan866]

Marmota disco?
Hangout for motor gangs.....
The eh sai ones will dance on top the huge speakers....
Later years became a gay joint haha

Sounds entertaining and fun. What happened to that joint?? Ceased operations and died?

 

[TracyTan866]

There was a Prince, Raja too
Raja was next to Princess at Bedok, the Prince had to stay far away :p:p:p

wahh...Kings, Queens, Prince, Princess, Raja...SG seemed to be thriving and prospering in those days.

Nowadays the most entertaining cinema is pap's Jester Cinema with wayang shows from Chief Fumbler LHL, Court Jester LSS and 78 other Eunuchs.

When Singaporeans are bored, we can find free entertainment in Fumbler LHL's jokes abt free pork soup in China and free smoke in Shanghai. Bob Hope LHL is not.

Singaporeans can also be tickled by some of the actions taken at PAP's court

Hehehe... Not sure leh, what was the name of the watering hole near Bencoolen and Princep St? Remembered the motor siao like to congregate there too... Slipped my mind :(:(:(

wahhh...u r experienced...try to recall.....

Rex is jinxed. No biz prospered while located there. Used to chiong there. Should be 2000-2003.

Rex belonged to Shaws at that time?

Shaws fortunes flipped after 2005?

 

[TracyTan866]

Then, should convert into a casino.

there were some mini casinos in SG before pap legalised casino gambling and reaped huge returns from RWS and MBS. But in return, many families broke up and suicide rate in SG shot up.

Is it right for pap to collect huge casino taxes and cause many and severe family problems. Chief culprits are LHL and GY who were strong advocates of casinos. GY suffered karma and was decisively thrown out at GE 2011. Will karma befall LHL soon for all the evils he did?
