 SPCA and Dave Papworth178 viewsMy sister Gill, Maggie, who was one of the SPCA supervisors and me. I believe we had just presented Maggie with our collection tin. My sister and I had gone round all the Flats in Far East Mansions carol
singing and had raised quite a bit of cash. (Later Maggie took us to see The Italian Job, which hadn't long been released).

 Taken from our 5th floor flat, Far East Mansions175 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.

 Tanglin Court Hotel175 viewsTanglin Court Hotel in the foreground and Far East behind. Some families initially stayed at Tanglin Court while waiting for a vacant married quarter. Posh looking residential flats have since replaced Tanglin Court.

 cutting is either from the Straits Times or the Malay Mail174 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.
Pacificmansions1.jpg
 Pacific Mansions174 viewsPacific Mansion taken from the "garden" of Far East Mansions. We kids used the roof of the building in the foreground as a short cut. The occupants of course used to object! A block of flats now stands where the “garden” used to be.
