KYLIE TAN

SYNOPSIS

Relive the past through the eyes of our oldest living historians, vividly brought to life through memories, animation, reenactments and archives. This generation witnessed life in the country before there was a nation and can still remember glimpses of a Singapore that we barely see traces of today. What was it like living in a bustling colonial city-state of immigrants, filled with colourful communities and languages? Or growing up in a time of kampungs and crowded urban squatter areas, where spitting was common and cattle still roamed the streets?  

​

From the stirring to the humorous, their recollections chronicle the personal coming-of-age of an entire generation born before WWII, and reveal intriguing insights from a vastly different era of Singapore.
