Let Me Tell You A Story - Tales From The South
46:13 Min
Singapore's story began in the south - its first gateway to the world. From Pulau Brani to Pasir Panjang, childhoods were shaped by the sea, port life, and a nation on the verge of transformation.
Let Me Tell You A Story
About the show:
Let Me Tell You A Story 2 uncovers memories of growing up in a very different Singapore, told by seniors aged 60 and above who lived it firsthand.
Up north in Sembawang, the Naval Base wasn't just a fortress. It was a one-of-a-kind community, with football fields, rowdy sailors and even wild crocodiles.
Down south, from Pulau Brani to Pasir Panjang, children grew up by the docks. The sea was always near - shipyards, industries and a port that would one day power a nation.
Across the island, the freewheeling stories reveal a way of life that has vanished. A Singapore before the expressways and MRT, before the island became one of the world's most modern cities.
