Hello Richard: The founder of Nantah is. 陈六使。 o r. Tan Lark Sye. The name is pronounced as. Tan Lark Sai in Hokkien. In Mandarin it is Chen liu shi and he donated. money to build Nantah. He supported the Barison Socialis. and he did not support the PAP. He paid a high price for his views and LKY revoked his citizenship. However there is a road named after Tan Lark Sye in the Nantah campus.

Thank for all the great information of history of Singapore. We only study Singapore history in secondary for two years, and it only cover so little about it. Many important history in Singapore is not cover or discard it due to political or racial reason.

Hi Richard, love the videos. Would be interesting to see where the land reclamation projects impacts on today's SG. On youtube, there are some fascinating videos from decades past on how locations such as Boat Quay changed over time. You walk past those areas in this vid but even in a post covid world, the bustle and small time industry of these locations is gone.

Poutines are Canadian. Although having said that, I've eaten 'cheese and chips' in Scotland. Hash browns are American. Agree with you about the mushrooms and tomatoes. Ideally, for a full monty you would need bubble and squeak if you're a southerner, and black pudding (but maybe that's more a Northern/Scottish/Irish thing)

Things you might not know. Before the ‘tourist attractions’ pubs & restaurant at Clark Quay & Boat Quay, these places were full of rundown warehouses (godowns). At night these eerie & sad place becomes a cruise area for gays! At the present pub besides the bungee was a shop that sells coffin even before the RIP of the godowns there. Surprise!

Im Singaporean. i have heard that many of my friends intend to use it on stay-cations so i think its working? During the Covid period its noticeable the amount of locals traveling to touristy spots however do take note that Singapore is a small country. we have probably visit every tourist spot at least afew times. hence why its preferred to travel to other countries when possible.
