Remembering Singapore the way it was

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

Never want to step into casino, pay some more.

Forget it.

If you dont mind the crowd then at least go and visit the Universal Studio when it opens. Sentosa has changed completely and the dream of making it into a fun island some 40 years ago has finally come true but be prepared to spend at least $100 per head.

I will go somewhere where I can find a quiet beach to relax.

Here is my suggestion, take your wife and check into a 5 star hotel at Siloso beach.The beach is man made but the landscaping is good enough to fool any tourist (except for the coconut trees which clearly showed they were implanted).Then at night go watch 'Songs of the Sea' $10 a head for a 30 minute show.

You better than me, I haven't been to Sentosa for at least a decade. Last time I there still had Surrender Chambers and Rare Stone Museum.

ha ha Uncle the last time i was there it was Coral Museum.....

Short Ninja SG

I am sure there is no more Maritime Museum cuz even at that time that place was nothing and I wonder if is a good idea to have a surrender chamber at the Kranji War memorial instead.

maybe the surrender chamber should relocate back to the Pesico factory.

The old Ford Factory's now a condo.

They took surrender chamber out of Sentosa to please the Japanese tourists and should put it back in to please the British ,Aussies , the New Zealanders and the rest of the World for historical preservation

I wonder why Singapore does not have a War memorial day to remember WWII.

The way our heritage is preseved it only takes another 2 Sin generations to think that Jap occupation in Sin only happen in a Wax muesum....and another decade to conclude it was for tourist only.....

Hitman_ SG

thats cuz LKY is afraid his past will be looked down upon.he joined the japs as a radio operator!they all say people must survive so they go werk fer the japenis. the japs must have given him plenty of japanese caipng even though its tofu n rice only.

Don't care too much if there is a holiday or not to commemorate. What can you expect from youngsters nowadays that Avatar is more real than old junk history.
