Changi, Singapore River, Tiger Balm (Garden), colour film footage from 1960
Posted by otterman on 23 July 2008
A post in Tomorrow.sg highlighted this and its quite the find. But no, Tiger Balm is not eaten!
“RAF CHANGI SINGAPORE 1960″ with interesting links to other filmlets from that age.

Yeah, what a find! Who’d imagine that a publicity video made in the 60s would become a heritage film now. I don’t know about younger people who watch this but I found a new-found pride in how far Singapore has progressed. And greater connections with the places shown and mentioned in the film. Now they don’t appear as places but heritage sites to me! lol

Wow I’m old ….actually remember some of them….esp the Tiger Balm garden….think the old one was much better than the latter….no wonder its close now. Some old stuff is better left unchanged. Else the rest of the progress is really quite remarkable.
