33 scenes only true blue S’poreans will remember

[The_King]

But if you do remember these scenes, you’re really too old.

News of Singapore’s population breaching the 7 million mark by 2030 with half of the people on this island made up of foreigners is leaving a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.

And the most widespread fear?

The loss of Singaporean-ness.

So, what better way to bid adieu to everything we have lost, and will lose, than to take a trip down memory lane and re-live all those places and things that are no more.

However, if a lot of these scenes from the late 1980s to early 1990s ring a bell, you’re getting too old.

#1 Orchard Road back then

#2 Is this Paragon?

#3 I really don’t remember Orchard Plaza

#4 Tangs and Lucky Plaza

#5 Dhoby Ghaut

#6 Specialist Shopping Centre at Somerset, a.k.a 313. And remember those traffic lights?

#7 ERP used to be called Restricted Zone

#8 Restricted Zone at Clark Quay area

#9 Opposite Tangs

#10 Centre Point!

#11 That building on the left is Specialist Shopping Centre

#12 Double decker non-air con bus

#13 Change Alley at Collyer Quay

#14 I have no idea where this is

#15 Chinatown

#16 Chinatown

[The_King]

#17 Harbour Front, without Vivocity

#18 90s McDonald’s advertising! (That’s Abigail’s mom)

#20 In front of Padang

#22 A time when Singapore still had four races

#25 Look how MRT stations have modernised!

#26 Merlion

#27 This one’s probably demolished

#28 This too

#29 Neil Road?

#30 I think this tortoise is still alive at the Singapore Zoo!

#31 Cecil Street area?

#32 Raffles Place MRT

#33 Fullerton

Noticed how little people there were last time?
