The year was 1967, and Singapore started to print its own currency and made national service a compulsory thing for all young Singaporean men of lawful age. It was the year where fake eyelashes were rented out for S$4 per day; and prices of eggs plummeted to a new low that drove Singaporeans to form a lobby group on chicken butchery in order to reduce the supply of eggs. In the same year, Vietnamese Rose - a form of syphilis came into Singapore and men who called on prostitutes shuddered at the mere mention of the name; It was also the year when Sakura and Rita Chaos New Peach-blossom River was all the rage in the streets of Singapore.
