Singapore Scenic. old, lost or forgotten in Singapore! by (Prof Aman Talib)

[@barbraeu1376]

So nostalgic,the music and all. I was born in 1950, brings back my childhood memories......sad the S'pore I grew up in is long gone....forever! The S'pore we know today is beautiful.....wish we were big enough land wise that we do not need to bulldoze the beautiful old S'pore!

[@stargazeronesixseven]

😮🙏 OMG! This brought back so much old memories of both Singapore & Malaysia of the 1960s ... All Unions will eventually face their dissolutions in due time & space ... Important thing was that , we being good persons & being good responsible citizens back then & now! We apologized for any wrong doings as we had not much life experiences & valuable insights back then ... May those Good & Deserving Ones be Reunited in a Better World & Realm ... 🙏 Thank You So Much Prof Aman Talib for this nostalgic video of Old Singapore & for the lovely Malay song by Kartina Dahari ... 😊🙏🌷🌿🕯🌍✌💜🕊🇸🇬🇲🇾

I was born in singapore in 1960. In 1970, I moved to Malaysia. I lived in Clementi Estate from 1960-1970. I went to Sekolah Melayu Wessex Estate (SMWE), Singapore. Since moving to Malaysia, I haven't seen my school friends anymore. I realy want to meet them. If you have friends who went to school at SMWE Singapore in 1969, standard 3, at that time, please dm me. I have too many memories in Singapore. Thanks for this video.

Old Singapore was totally aman Prof. Aman, thank you so much. I did not know Teban was like that then, what a discovery even for me, who stayed for about two decades in Teban Gardens. Every other shot I could easily relate to and gets me uneasily nostalgic. The soulful Malay songs beautifully captures the friendliness of those times. Of whatever ethnic background, the older peoples of Singapore were truely kind-hearted and even then they were highly civilized for their days and this comes through your visuals. Singapore should have modernized without losing those fine harmonious and value-rich atmospherics. Unfortunately, today's Singapore is getting richer in substance only to get poorer in humanistic spirits !

[@krollpeter]

I am not in the position to judge. However, I have a strong feeling you are right. Looking at this and other historic films, I do think that it would have been better to retain more of the original flavour, and modernize more sensitively.

[@MojoDevirus]

@@krollpeter What you say sir is correct. Some years back I spoken to a tourist that he was very disappointed to come to singapore and see no old "culture" at all. All are just modern buildings. What he read was not what he see at all.

Thank you for sharing this video. We have a framed photo of old pasir panjang village given by my husband's uncle (Othman Wok. Died at 92-93yo in 2018). His father was a teacher (English and Malay languages I think) and also principal in a primary school in pasir panjang (died young at 45yo). I remembered growing up in the 1970s and 1980s when kampung were still around. My father was a carpenter from Solo, Indonesia who came to Singapore 1940s onwards I think. He and other Javanese friends built kampung houses: kampung Tempe, kampung Cantek lama, kampung Cantek baru, Onreat Road, Malcolm Road, Mount Pleasant, Lorong Halwa, Stevens Road, Fernhill (I think), Lim Chu Kang and a few kampung places that I don't remember. Mostly in districts 10 and 11 except Lim Chu Kang which was a HUGE kampung settlement. I also visited my grandfather who lived in Kaki Bukit. The kampung settlement was huge too ! Grandfather lived at Jalan Perwira. We would board bus no. 50 or 51 from Outram HDB estate till the bus depot. Then, we walked up the slop a bit about 10 mins to grandfather's house. Those were fun days. No worries at all. Kids run anywhere and come home safe at the end of the day (before maghrib).

[@aussierheinhardt4390]

I believed ur late grandfather and his javanese friends built my late grandfather HJ Hassan and HJH Maimunah attap house at kampung lorong halwa (near a big well for all villagers to bath and do laundry). The attap house are the one nearest to P.I.E with the big longkang infront of it. Alot of villagers used it to wash laundry there too as the water are so clean. To enter the village, either thru MT. Pleasant (alot of chinese graves) or thru Onraet road (behind police academy) before I.S.D detention centre was built. They were relocated to hdb flat at Toa payoh lorong 1 opposite the bus interchange back in the 80s. Now the hdb flat also gone. But i do visit Jalan ampas at Balestier road when im in Singapore though. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ummiramli6554]

@@aussierheinhardt4390 Oh ! Wow ! It's my almarhum father and his team who helped build the kampung houses. Apparently, one if his team was my ex-husband's grandfather named Juadi. Yai Juadi and family used to live in Sixth Avenue opposite kampung Tempeh. They moved to Kampung Wak Selat in Kranji because they couldn't stand the constant floodings whenever the rain falls! During my childhood, I would follow my mother to most of these villages to visit my parents friends who were actually owners of houses that my father and team built. They became friends. We do not have cousins from my father and mother sides. They came here alone and met in Singapore. My father was called Wak Ramli/Pak Emi. My mother was called Kadirah but her real name is Su'ini. I remembered when lorong Halwa was split in two. The government was constructing the first highway which is then named PIE. I walked on the quite sticky muddy sand to go to the other side of lorong Halwa in 1975/76 I think, on the right near Mt Pleasant side which is after Lorong Halwa. I will ask my mother if she remembers your grandparents. Take care !

[@aussierheinhardt4390]

@@ummiramli6554 if she ask which attap house, just tell her the house for my late grandparents are situated beside P.I.E behind a two storey grocery shop. The 1st floor owned by the chinese shop owner while 2nd floor was rented out to my family. Opposite my grandparent attap house is a friendly chinese family which owned few dogs (they never bark at us cos my grandfather used to feed them), their house was made of brick (cos they are humble rich). The walkway infront of my grrandparent attap house leads up to the old perigi where all the kampung people meet to take their morning shower by using rope and a metal tin attached to scoop the perigi cold water. My late grandfather was a gardener before he passed away before they relocated to Toa payoh in the 80s. My late grandmother passed away in the late 80s during breast cancer removal.

[@blmetal65]

These video reminds of the good ole days for some but terrible days for most when looking back on past years and decades because most S'poreans were from the poor background, struggling to make ends meet. Its worth remembering to remind new generations how far and hard the struggles were and not to forget where we've come from which keeps us humble and thankful.

I lived in Singapore in my childhood from 1963-66 and I have such happy memories. Singapore in 2020 is barely recognisable....and it seems to be built for international travel and tourism all the villages are gone...presumably the residents forced into high rise apartments. The Singapore I remember is gone forever.

Once upon a time, all this heritage gem's has been forgotten by the new generation. The lost world...!!

[@gwo-shyanhan1188]

Hi Nordin I don't think forgotten is the word, they never knew 😂. Only ppl like us who had lived through the transitional years will remember the good old days playing spiders, ye-ye, 5 stones, ga-seng, kuti-kuti, bottlecaps etc. I felt nostalgic after watching this clip. It felt like watching a old Hollywood movie but with us as actors in it this time😊. Thanks Professor for bringing back fond memories 😊👍

[@wakboy7499]

wonderful scenes of a past well remembered. However only want to point out one small thing. I'm pretty sure the night soil lorries is called the 32 door truck. 16 on each side.

Prof telah kembali kerahmatullah pada Jan 25 2022 Innalillahi wa innaillahi raji’un. Semoga Almarhum di terima di sisi illahi & yang ditinggal selalu diberi ketabahan. Al-Fatihah...

ALfatihah. SEMOGA rohnya dicucuri rahmat Allah. Berapa Umur Arwah?

My life in Singapore began in 1947 although my father bought our Kampong house of Trafalgar Estate just before the start of the Japanese occupation of Singapore. He had the option of staying at Mental Hospital (Woodbridge Hospital) Quarters but instead opted to buy a kampong house. Life was difficult but somehow, we enjoyed such challenging life.

Has anybody got photos of the jardine steps in the 50s?....please help,thank you.......

[@vijaykumarshah2361]

At 01:35 there is a shot labelled "Taj Cinema". I think this is actually the Singapura Cinema in Geylang Serai. Saw way too many Hindi movies there!

[@aiokibarchives9372]

That was great, I enjoyed myself.
