during the 50's and 60's, the MIB were powerless. the secret society

was even more garang than the MIB. during the olden days, everywhere

was juz kampung and small houses scattered side by side there. underground

activities were infested in some places. the law cannot catch up with them

becos even the MIB afraid to walk-in and was restricted to the area. too

infested to go in. and my understanding was, many wanted men were hide in

the cover of the messy attap houses. the MIB was presure to get these ppl

out from the place if we want to progress.

 

today, the place has became one of our growing legend...

 

May 25, 1961: It was Hari Raya Haji, a day for celebration, but that day

ended in tragedy as Singapore saw the biggest and most devastating fire in

its history. Its cause is not known, but it is believed to have started in an

attap hut near King’s Cinema – long gone now – in Tiong Bahru, at around

3.30pm.The flames zig-zagged their way across Tiong Bahru Road to Beo

Lane, before strong winds led them to Havelock Road and the Delta area. An

unprecedented 22 fire engines battled the inferno, but at 8pm it was still

going strong. Oil and petrol containers in nearby godowns were heard

exploding at regular intervals. By the time it was put out, more than 100

acres of squatter settlement on the higher part of the bukit (hill) had been

razed, nearly 3,000 homes destroyed, 16,000 people were homeless and four

had died. Eyewitnesses told of people stumbling downhill clutching meagre

belongings, groups sitting dazed by the roadside and the occasional

desperate effort to rescue items from a blazing home.ThebigfireBy Sharon

SeowThere was a massive loss of jobs as factories and shops were all gone.

Until then, the area was higgledy piggledy with wood and attap homes.

These had no proper toilets, no running water and no electricity. Rubbish was

dumped in the streets. Pigs and chickens were reared in backyards and

roadside stalls were common. Bukit Ho Swee housed the poorest people.

They were resettled in Housing and Development Board flats in the area, in

what is now poky, one and two-room homes. Their open lifestyles suddenly

became private.The flats in Block 79 at Indus Road and Blocks 31 and 33 at

Taman Ho Swee housed some. Bukit Ho Swee was hit again on Nov 24, 1968.

This fire rampaged through a three-acre squatter settlement between the

housing estate and the Chancellor Road playground. This time, 3,000 were

left with nothing but the clothes on their back.What stands in Bukit Ho Swee

now are mostly new and upgraded blocks of flats in pink and blue, and

condominiums. There are sheltered walkways and railings to help the elderly.

The fire’s destruction is not evident.Noted one long-time resident: “When we

first came here, we missed the good old days. Now, no one would want to

move back.”Bukit Ho Swee was devastated by two fires in the 1960s. But

today, there is no evidence of what happened.

Anyone have the ang pei Yamaha motoriso logo helmet picture to share? they are the biggest group during the late 80s.

[Scott10]

Nice thread.

 

My dad was a biker too, used to tell me how weekends were spend watching people racing illegally. The numbers would easily swell to the hundreds. He somehow ended up with one of the gang also, not sure which, for which he gained a reputation for being able to hold his liquor and not for his bike skills!

 

One incident he told me that stuck in my mind was when his gang clashed with another gang, amidst the shouting, he saw one of his friends on the other side. They did not know that either of them had joined the gang and they were there just for the thrills. Lucky never fight that night.

 

Oh, not forgetting the stacking of helmets at cinema. And during the crackdown, the police would go into the theaters and stop movies just to get the riders to remove the helmets.

[yeobt]

Im in love with all your true stories bro.... It just keeps giving me good old golden years memories. Love it.

[bernardk]

whats the days about

 

Its a old skool teens gangster show that touches you heart. Cos the director is also the writer. Who wrote this story for the movie as a tribute for his brother who got insane.

[bernardk]

how come his brother got insane

 

I think during one of the gang fight his younger brother got head concussion and went crazy due to brain damage. You can rent the DVD to watch lor its available already. Do remember to watch the "Extraz" Section... But yeobt stories still the best. So exciting. He should write it into a novel.
