    Singapore has changed a hell of a lot too, over the past 50 years.

    I was going to school there when this very British video was made (although we actually lived in Johor Bahru across on the mainland).

    Yes, rather sad really...what happened to the 'Pearl Of the Orient'.

    Was it the Americans ? The Japanese ? Marcos ? The reliance on OFWs ?

    Excellent footage. And the accompanying music was simply sublime. They just do not write music like that these days - more's the pity. Thank you.
