Singapore 1980s: A Nation Is Tested | In Our Time | Full Episode

[@forzafury4981]

Growing up as a kid in the '80s... Those were the BEST years of my life! The Food, The Music, The Movies, The Sports... Everything was MAGICAL!

[@gilapunyaorang]

Singapore is the best place to be in SEA during the 80s & 90s. After 2010 started going downhill, SG no longer feel like true SG. Still best place for young people to study & work.

[@misterbig9025]

Why go downhill?

[@josephjoelcharles9206]

I had the opportunity to work and live in Singapore during the start of this millennium 2001 to 2009. I had this idea of a humble beginning of Singapore but just in 30yrs time it has transformed it self into one of the most developed city state. There are still glimpses of the past all over the city . Though a tiny islands but a life time may not be sufficient to satisfy our craving for life. LOVE TO SINGAPORE FROM VIZAG (INDIA )❤

[@CalvinYio]

Was born and grew up in the mid to late 80s I can still remember much of my childhood back than.. And looking back I do feel those were Singapore Golden Years

[@raffleskris7711]

Watching this brought back alot of childhood memories, thank-you.

[@6969Liverpool]

Thank you for this series… it’s worth Re-watching every year 😊 Remembering Mr Sim Wong Hoo & all who had contributed to this journey of Singapore 🥺

[@yvon6307]

Time flies...was in University late 80s, job was aplenty! Every year was better than the last,miss that era.

[@aaronm8143]

Really enjoying this series on Singapore. Went from not being wanted in Malaysia to its own crown jewel city state. Very inspiring, and can’t wait to visit.

[@conanabang1515]

Thank you. I loved seeing the old footages and it felt really wonderful seeing how it used to be.

[@remyazharyyosef1811]

I was in Primary School back in the 80s. Miss those times. Remember Cuppage? Lots of gang riots. Also remember going to the MRT roadshow at the old World Trade Centre. Visitors got to choose the layout of the seats; whether it'd be like the bus-style or facing one another.

[@MTChee]

I was born in 1974 and live in selegie houses. I was hopping to see my face on this video because I was there most of time and remember how I used to walk from short street to orchard, Bugis and Marina lol. Now asking me to walk like this is mission impossible! Lol

[@Oscarizxc]

And here I am, using a Sound Blaster to listen to the audio of this video.

[@palamirtammarimuthu1752]

Fandi Ahmad football days....1983.....all the school boys preferred to play soccer than do homework

[@ciarankelly4338]

Remember going to see Fandi at a full stadium and it was amazing especially when they played against Malaysia ! Fandi was a great player and a very nice guy as I met him.

[@saifulbahrininbary3987]

I was born in 1989 but I love 80's no social media ...I still hear 80's song glam rock music 🤟

[@limchonghung2796]

Miss the 80s only sporeans

[@chiavictor]

thanks for the memories

[@vincent81975]

1980s We are Singapore 2024 We are Singa poor

[@chinchang5117]

If Fandi is still our football icon, then something must be wrong in the last 20 years

[@wadegrant7465]

Fandi Ahmed, he used to come to some of the parties the American School students had. Good dude.

[@violetnhz]

Appreciate the release of this finally!😊

[@nicst3373]

Year 2020 At peak hour waiting for Mrt to work before CB, waiting for the train... long queue across the platform. When mrt finally arrives, it’s so crowded cannot enter mrt at all. Miss the train again. Now wfh best

[@moonstarsun633]

Missed the good old 80s. Now is everything expensive, full of foreigners and the 4G team. 😭

[@rizpista]

I’m from old soul yup I can feel the vision

[@misterbig9025]

Aiyaa S'pore 1980s is the best! People still follow rules, no traffic jam!

[@andrewlee8110]

Finally! What took CNA so long to upload this video?

[@CNAInsider]

Unfortunately it took us some time to clear the rights for some of the music used. Hope it was worth the wait!

[@timteoh80]

lul lmao In general,one epside for one decade is not enough

[@cmccoll34]

@wear ur mask wash ur hands and social distance Thank you for mentioning this! I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this as well..I’m 30 minutes into the documentary and noticed this overwhelming focus on Chinese culture which was making me really uncomfortable- From Haw Par Villa to Chinese Kampungs to Chinese music and Chinese plays. I’m a Chinese Singaporean myself, but I would have appreciated seeing the diversity of our country’s culture. Nonetheless, thank you for a good video CNA Insider.

[@danceoffAsh]

@COPE d'etat Yeah I thought Singapore was a sub chinese territory in the 80's based on this video. With more promo for Chinese artists, musicians and culture. Only when Fandi showed up it made sense that was back to it's roots of diversity again. Did Indians in Singapore achieve much in the 80s? I am curious though.

[@skullcrusher6387]

@iIi3iIi IiiI2 agreed

[@Steveinthailand]

I would like to see video documentaries that deal with Singapore's social changes during the 80&90's not just zoos and music

[@wakboy7499]

Love this series.. however something to point out .. there was no such thing as "underaged smoking" in the 80s. lol

[@ResidentEvilNostalgia]

15:15 the big guy who sat beside ah meng is Hagen from the gladiator movie. I'm 99% certain.

[@kelvin9115522]

and Eddie Murphy on the right 😂

[@alanteo6236]

I 💘 Singapore! May God continue to bless Singapore!

[@768jefiline7]

Singaporeans speak proper English in the 80's and 90's WOW.

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

our teachers back then spoke very nice british styled english

[@share_accidental]

not much people spoke english. those that spoke english likely had a ‘proper’ english education

[@ahkl77]

Singapore’s decade of promise and shared success

[@spanishjo4282]

My friend is a breaker but in 1983, he broke his neck!

[@zulrahman2476]

😂 Those were the days, of Breakdance and Breakneck. 🤣

[@conned]

Hey, nice shirt!! Very SG!

[@Embargoman]

To see some Japanese manufactures make their electronics in Singapore, how does products from Hitachi, Panasonic, Aiwa, and Sanyo make their products in Singapore in the 1980s and 1990s.

[@SSQMinky]

I was today years old finding out the Sound Blaster cards were Singapore-based…

[@misterbig9025]

I remember TIBS buses

[@MrBoliao98]

To be fair Ang Gey Pin, my grandma didnt understand all the cantonese programs in the 70s and the tapes of the 80s. She just gawked at the shows. So change mandarin also no difference 😅

[@arjunpadmakumar2961]

That white dress girl at 14:13😍

[@hongng3963]

The long hair lady at 19:42 really looked like she came from haw par villa

[@tanthiennguyen9308]

Jeder Jungend an Soundblaster Interressant Geschichte...................................!

[@moonstarsun633]

Poor Ah Meng. Kena disturbed. Can't decide on her own fate.

[@jasminechan2080]

❤

[@louislamsc]

We will continuously be tested, it would be a mistake to think that we are not

[@mingyuhuang8944]

80s is best, love everyones glamorous big hair

[@tanthiennguyen9308]

Prof. Dr.Dr. Titelverteidiger.................!

[@sadiomane1071]

How come nothing on 1950s Singapore??

[@schrodinger6429]

Surely 80s was great, 90s was silghtly better. Then from 2000 onwards, creative labs, music/tv industries and housing affordability begins to fall apart.

[@laubehcar]

38：37 Game BOY ??

[@mike04574]

nothing about boomboxes or cassettes or vhs?

[@MuhammadRaihan-v1i]

I'm more into studio jamming with friends during th80's at far east Plaza jamming rock music not break dancing or tea dancing..not really that interested..used to fetch my fiance back hoe n dinner together at river valley road daimaru -liang court -clark back quay... ..very nice memoriesback then❤

[@telukpaku4296]

Jobs were hunting for candidates in the 80's

[@IamLorvinP]

It's nice to see SG being Vibrant in the 80's. Meanwhile in our side, we experienced Economic and Political Crisis due to a Dictator that loves to cling in his seat at the Presidential Palace 🤣🤣🤣

[@toddrone]

San Lak kau ah bengs ,..hahaha

[@rickylow1655]

Most Chinese significant countries do well because of hard work and willingness to learn and adapt.

[@skullcrusher6387]
