Oh...I thought you meant the present day now 2014. Yes, during those days in the 80s..rowdy with U.S. Navy Sailors in the white uniform. Not only in Bugis Street but also in the Princep street near selegie house or just opposite the rex cinema now. I used to eat at the old Cameroon Seafood Restaurant and bought the old chung kee curry puffs there.
