The coldest week temperature recorded in Singapore? If I am not wrong aobut 18c or 19c

I know the coldest was in 1970 or 1969 but 21c or something. Even the cooking oil harden.

Yes, the Tanglin Circus and Farrer Circus had fountains.

Not that cold in 1986, just cool in the night. Those big floods of yester years? Almost all corners flooded.
