Thank you Mr Michael for sharing old clips of Singapore. I was born in 1993, not much left of the old SG to experience when I grew up. Don't stop sharing these wonderful clips!
Watching your clips brought tears and smiles ..life was simple and more authentic back then. Singapore has lost all these old treasures. Thank you for capturing, preserving and sharing them .
A big thank you to you Michael for sharing priceless videos of old Singapore. It’s good for the young generations of Singaporeans to know how old Singapore was like. Thank you!
Hi Sir! As a Singaporean who is born in the 90s. I’ve never gotten a chance to see this sight of Singapore apart from the history texts that were given in school. Thank you for capturing the moment while you can and sharing it here on your page. It’s really an amazing job well done! ❤️
You sir have a gift of time .. I shall call you a Time Traveler You get to travel in the past and filmed the most wonderful things in the world for us to enjoy today. These videos are a relic in time and space.
Simply breathtaking to be able to witness the places you traveled to even before I was born. These videos are simply eternal. Hope you live a long life and continue capturing beautiful videos for the generations to follow too. Respect to you. God bless you sir.
Thank you for beautiful video. I am Japanese living singapore since 1994 , enjoying to see developments but at same time feeling a little bit sad about losing some cultural aspects . Anyway Singapore is unique and beautiful country I love .
Thanks Michael . I enjoyed every second of your movie ! Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and China Town. We love going back to Singapore and our next Trip to Singapore will take place February 2021. Hopefully, this Corona Situation will be solved by then ?
This is so overwhelmingly emotional and incredible!! All your clips especially of Singapore! Thank you, thank you. As a Singaporean I say Thank you Sir!
Nice video. Thanks for uploading it. An old guy I used to work with was in Singapore and Malaya 1957-1959. He was in the British army to fight the communist insurgence in the Malayan jungle. He said that back then, Singapore was 'a filthy place'. He was not impressed with Singapore back then. Far different to what it is like today.
I love your movies, so beautifully captured. My wife is Singaporean, we go up often, when staying with the in laws, it's my job to hang the washing out on the pole as depicted at the end of this clip in Chinatown. A few times I've dropped the odd bra and had to go downstairs and fetch it haha. We were going to go up next month but this blasted virus is wreaking havoc on us all. Stay safe and keep posting your great films. Love from Auckland, New Zealand.
It was like this till 1982, filthy dirty smelly at boat quay. When river was dredged, found unimaginable objects, even a human skeletal remains was found in Cavanagh bridge.
wow i came across your video for no reason and it is really beautiful, i am living in Singapore for many years and this video makes me love singapore more
For a moment I thought great to see an old video of Singapore ,BUT then the Fing music started Why oh why do people f Something up by trying to be a Hollywood producer Why ? If this is 50 years old , I was there 7 years earlier Before, and after serving in Sarawak ( confrontation) Singapore is as far as I am concerned the best , clean, exciting place on earth. But I must admit Clarks quay, and the Britannia Club ( opposite Raffles) was the best place for a beer in 1965 . Thanks for the video Thank god I only live a hour away from the island
I remember seeing the bumboats and godowns along Clark Quay during my first visit to Singapore in 1981. Hope you have some video from Bugis Street at night. ;)
It's Singapore all right. Those boats on the river are called Tongkangs and used to ferry goods from ships out in the sea to the warehouses on both sides of the river. Now a few of it still exist to ferry tourists on sightseeing along the Singapore river.
oh i love singapore i have always hang out at orchards Rd on sat and Sunday this right here is a historical record that i will watch since i want to see what aingapore was like back then n how on earth did u upload this vid to youtude i mean u got the vid from an old camera right so how did u turn it into data for upload 4:19 ok that thai embassy on orchards Rd still looks the same even today or myde its just me
Are you a US soldier fighting in Vietnam here on R&R by any chance? 50 years ago would have been 1970. My grand dad always used to tell me stories of American Soldiers and how money is like paper to them
while i admire singapore with how far it has developed, I don't find it much interesting now, it looks all concrete and artificial glits and glamour and hard to remember anything culturally unique now
Depends on which spots you visit, quite some ancient traditional buildings have been restored. That makes Singapore so charming, in addition to the rich greenery all over. But of course some places are changed in a negative way, for example Sentosa is not the nice little green paradise anymore.
@@RL-fj9jg nope, actually before chinese come to singapore,singapore is part of malaysia, and after chinese come singapore want separated from malaysia, did you know singa mean lion ? Thats because from malay, (malaysia indonesia brunai) singapore is NUSANTARA before chinese come !
I feel that in the past SG has more character... Compared to now is so man made and structured.... Losing all her characters.... When Clifford Pier was once still a pier with boats heading out to the open sea.... now what we have are all restaurants pubs and clubs..... I’m not saying that it is no good I’m just saying that the whole place is looking like a basin of water instead of a real sea anymore....
I was a small child when you filmed these. I vividly remember the boats loading and unloading along the river. Its vastly different now, the godowns are restaurants, the steps are seating for those wishing for an evening beside the now very clean river. Thanks for bringing back the memories, from a local.
At the end of the clip was the Jade House. Was a beautiful place. It has been demolished. In it's place stands a condominium. I remember boat quay and the working bum boats. They now serve tourists. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video from the past. Priceless !
Amazing sights of Singapore in the yesteryears! This is definitely something that our National Museum of Singapore would be interested in for its archive exhibits.
I'm very happy, Mr. Rogge that you're obviously still in good health and active with your old a precious films that you took so many decades ago. Thank you for your effort and the many many hours, which you spend for the digitization and uploading those clips and preserving them for the next generations. You must have had a fabulous time in the Far East during your long years as expat. I envy you and wish I would have experienced that too. But with your generosity I'm able to study and watch your film and dream about wandering next to you holding your camera and imagine the smells and noises of those days. Thank you for sharing all your great and unique trips and making it possible for me to live in those good old days, even if only for a short time and only in my imagination. You were and still are a lucky man. Thank you Mr. Rogge.
Your old clips are like priceless treasure. Thank Michael for sharing your old clips. I get immense joy from viewing them.
Touched when saw this video. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Michael! I've visted Singapre in 2014.
Imagine, most of the people here are old and have already died.
It was only 1970. Everyone in the video is not old. There were older people. Some are in the 60s and 70s now.
My grandfather is still around. He is 89 this year and still working.

The Development in 50 Years 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Omg thank you for sharing. I wasn’t born at the time...
You got a new subscriber sir!
The tallest white blocks @0.18 are probably Seaview Hotel at Amber Close, built in 1969 and demolished around 2004.
Very high quality, thank you so much
Very nice
wow i came across your video for no reason and it is really beautiful, i am living in Singapore for many years and this video makes me love singapore more
Greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬 thanks for posting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh, the last place is the Jade House, now it's Nassim Jade, the high class apartment.
Those were the days I familiar with.
You should donate or sell these to the Singapore national museum, I'm sure they would be happy to be able to archive these footages
Best time capsule. Love that sapè guitar playing in the background 🤩 i heard ayam seringgit dua ringgit 4 ringgit 😆 now chicken cost rm8 per kilo.
Wow
Having audio is the best.
Gracias Don Michael por compartir el vídeo.!! Dios lo bendiga
For a moment I thought great to see an old video of Singapore ,BUT then the Fing music started

If this is 50 years old , I was there 7 years earlier
Before, and after serving in Sarawak ( confrontation) Singapore is as far as I am concerned the best , clean, exciting place on earth. But I must admit Clarks quay, and the Britannia Club ( opposite Raffles) was the best place for a beer in 1965 . Thanks for the video

Wow indian and chinese no malay bravo...hahaha
Nothing special 😁
@Michealrogge I believe the snake charmer in this clip is still around. Doing the same at Sentosa island attractions. Classic.
I was a small child when you filmed these. I vividly remember the boats loading and unloading along the river. Its vastly different now, the godowns are restaurants, the steps are seating for those wishing for an evening beside the now very clean river.
Thanks for bringing back the memories, from a local.
The river scene is Boat Quay on Singapore River. It's all restaurants and bars these days of course.
Really?
12dougreed Yes. It has all become Shops, Bars and restaurants.
WAit what
yes thats true
I was 10 years old then born and raised in Singapore
That's how I've pictured my parents traveling back in time
It's nostalgic
Ty so much
At the end of the clip was the Jade House. Was a beautiful place. It has been demolished. In it's place stands a condominium. I remember boat quay and the working bum boats. They now serve tourists. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video from the past. Priceless !
So when’s that Time Machine gonna get built ?
Amazing sights of Singapore in the yesteryears! This is definitely something that our National Museum of Singapore would be interested in for its archive exhibits.
I lived here too 50 years ago. 1972-76. This is exactly what I remember, thank you!
U should earn a Singapore 'ACADEMY AWARD'
I'm very happy, Mr. Rogge that you're obviously still in good health and active with your old a precious films that you took so many decades ago.
Thank you for your effort and the many many hours, which you spend for the digitization and uploading those clips and preserving them for the next generations.

Thank you for sharing all your great and unique trips and making it possible for me to live in those good old days, even if only for a short time and only in my imagination. You were and still are a lucky man. Thank you Mr. Rogge.
Thanks for making all these clips public.They are a treasure trove for anyone looking to know more about the history of Asia.
Thank you for sharing the history of Singapore through this amazing video.
