Remember Swing Singapore 1988?

[Extremist]

I was still in lower secondary when I first attended the Swing Singapore, estimated 500 thousands sinkies swamp into orchard road to dance. It was very memorable for me because I brushed at least 200 pair of tits that night

100,000 up human bodies squeezed into orchard road.
The amount of rubbish the morning after was of epic proportions.

Mrt NS line just started operation in dec 1987 so many ppl use the mrt to get to swing Singapore in 88. Then the next few years also closed road for celebrations. The last mass celebration I went was the yr 2000. Didn't get into the crowd then because my friends were drunk by 10pm so had to hang around to prevent from getting into trouble.

too young to attend this. I wonder was the crowd more rowdy back then compared to say the 90s and today.

Wah lau eh..

I was still in Pri school but I remembered my elder brother bringing me out with his Kakis to Orchard Rd for the Swing.. My parents were bit hesitant to allow me to tag along but they eventually relented.. It was cool back then for me to mix with my elder brother and his friends.. I was the youngest so they did keep a special eye on me.. I didn't dance, smoke and drank the beers that they bought, but still I had a great time experiencing the lights of Orchard Rd during the night..

I remember the crowd were all local Sporeans of different races.. My elder brother was an old time buddy of this popular local Rap group back then called The Kopi Cat Clan.. The group consisted of the local Cina and Mat boys.. Our group went to the Swing together with them..

Good Old days..

estimated 500 thousands sinkies swamp into orchard road to dance.

1980 (Census) 2,413.9 2,282.1

1985 2,736.0 2,482.6

1988 2,846.1 2,598.5

2000 (Census) 4,027.9 3,273.4

You can see mid 90s to Y2K has more changes to the demographic. 500k is half a million, not possible.

If they start another Swing Singapore next year, all you get to see is ah nehs and pinoys at the swing.
