These is really a precious n valuable historic video in 1968 reflecting the old neighourhood n kampong style living togather in such a friendly n peacefully old chong pang estate.....❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
Me too ! Just further up the Thomson Rd at the Naval Base : My RFA officer colleagues and I rented a house in ChongPang during the refit, in Sembawang Shipyard, of RFA Stromness in 1969-70 ,I think. One £pound would buy you 7.4 Sing dollars back then. Today one£pound will get you just 1.7 Sing $ ..if you're lucky ! I finally moved out to Penang in 2007 on retirement : Indeed so many happy memories ...A remarkable video taking us down memory lane ...
Nice video capturing the life of ordinary Singaporean on a market day at Chong Pang. Singapore multi ethnicity was beautifully recorded and seeing young Sikh boys without the turban,Malays’ women without head coverings(tudung) and the Chinese aunties wearing cheongsams and baggy pants- a rare sight today!
Nice. No wonder they erected a statue of an old man with a straw hat carrying a pole with two loads at the ends. I like the narration of this video and not the sleep inducing accents of local production during that era

1968, the year I was born. This is amazing to see how people those days leads their daily routine. Thank you for the nostalgic video.
Amazing 🙋🇸🇬
I was 5 years old in 1968 and grew up in that neighbourhood including attending the nearby schools - West Hill Primary and Naval Base Secondary.
