Singapore had so much promise back then... it has become so dull and lifeless today. Everything is owned by the few cronies...

[@addherre6218]

I was 14 then! And those men on scaffold not wearing safety gears? Unbelievable.

Fun Fact: In the 80s when it opened, Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel was originally called Dynasty Hotel.

4 years After I was !
This Warmness felt in the video tend to disappear even in Singapore , Hong Kong , Japan as they were a Family Society like Middle East for example , Not individualists as West;
I feel Sorry of course for People living in bad conditions, but Singapore Today feels very Lonely , and.... ODD !
AAAHH , the Era when Tigers still existed in Singapore !
I read that in 70's some Latex workers in the jungle in Singapore have been attacked by tigers !
By the Way, We know Sri Lanka is close to India, Right ; but Why There is No Tigers in Sri Lanka ( And even in Borneo Island ( Sumatra in the same country does have tigers) ??
I love the reservation , politeness, Modesty Values of the Far East ( it's like the Middle East) ; Please, DO NOT LET THE WEST OCCIDENTALISE YOUR MORE !

Cars were a lot better then. I can't say about their women though.

[@Emsyaz]

Women were better too. There was no feminism back then.

Its a disgrace. There are literally no major upgrade from the 2nd gen leaders onwards after lky. So many of its neighbors had caught up or surpassed despite the insatiable app for higher pay at non-value adding current team

U can move to the neighbouring countries and enjoy their Low salaries.
