Taken from our 5th floor flat, Far East Mansions349 viewsTaken from our 5th floor flat, Far East Mansions, circa 1968. I am not sure what the occasion is but that small marquee is set up right outside the flat that was used as the families club so would assume there was a do of some kind on, complete with marching band.

cutting is either from the Straits Times or the Malay Mail339 viewsThe newspaper cutting is either from the Straits Times or the Malay Mail,
(the article appeared in both), The background to the story is that my sister and occasionally me would help out at the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The local papers obviously thought it would make a good story.
