Pamela Sandanasamy – My Father & the Naval Base Part 2 | Chronicles of Old Singapore
Description
Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Pamela Sandanasamy relates how the British military withdrawal in the late 1960s and 1970s divided her paternal and maternal relatives, taking them away from Singapore to Britain, India and Malaysia. We also discuss how the Sembawang community, including working adults in the 20s to 40s, can do to celebrate their lives in and around the Naval Base.
