Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Was it true that seven story hotel was the tallest building in Singapore? Hahaha

and Singapore had a 'Hotel Malaysia' >Hahaha

In fact 2 Hotel Malaysia, the first was later renamed Marco Polo and the 2nd was renamed Boulevard.

The big saga at the stock market over the sales of Hotel Malaysia and Ming Court Hotel that caused the 1981 stock crash.
