Nostalgia about a Singapore long gone...

I was a child in the colonial-era 1950s, a teen in the politically tumultuous '60s which also saw Singapore become part of Malaysia before separating from the federation to become an independent mini-nation, and a young adult by the early '70s -- when the die was being cast to create the Singapore we see today.

All I want to post here today is this nostalgic YouTube video that captured scenes of my Singapore when life was, to quote Charles Dickens, "the best of times, the worst of times"...

It's a pity that the clip ended abruptly, though.
