Singapore Naval Base - Fishing in the Dockyard280 views1964. Colin Banks holding up an Ikan Cermin (Malay name) caught whist fishing from a floating dock in the Naval Dockyard. A little bit of trick photography has been used for fun but it was a nice big fish. Because they are a flat and thin fish they are able to put up a tremendous fight when caught.

Singapore Naval Base - Sembawang Photo Services. Mr T K Lee 1998243 views1998. After 33 years Pete Banks meets up with T K Lee of Sembawang Photo Services.
Passing through the old Naval Base in 1998 I am shocked to learn that a Mr T K Lee was now the photographer of choice for the US Navy families on the base and I immediately looked him up. Many of the photographs being uploaded to this site by ex Naval Base residents were taken by Mr Lee. He covered all the dances, galas, private birthday parties etc or he sold you the camera that you used yourself.
(Sadly the Lee Photo Studio website now says ‘Permanently Closed’)
Singapore Naval Base - Fishing in the Dockyard (2)230 views1963. Peter Banks after a nights fishing off a floating dock in the Naval Dockyard. A good catch of Ikan Tenggiri. (Malay name). A shoal of these fish were found to be circling a couple of metres down under the overhanging floodlights at the end of the dock. A difficult fish to eat due to the mass of small bones in the flesh but our amah pound the whole fish into a paste and made them into tasty fish balls.
